Haunted By Failure

What this episode covers

Our greatest fear in life should not be of failure but of succeeding at things that don’t really matter. – Francis Chan How does failure haunt us? We are reminded of our defeats We are reminded of our deficiencies We are reminded of our downfalls We are reminded of our derailments We are reminded of our disappointments The reality of failure Failure is a common experience Failure is rarely the end It’s only a bad mistake if it’s your last mistake Failure should never establish us Failure can lead to greater effectiveness Failure can bring different responses Frustration Fatigue Futility For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day–and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. – 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Moving beyond failure requires a right perspective Success flows to lives that are prepared Success flows to lives that are presented Success flows to lives that purpose filled Moving beyond failure requires personal persistence Moving past failures means that we have to fight Moving past failures means that we have to finish Moving past failures means that we need faith Moving beyond failure requires concentration on the prize We lose concentration because we are distracted We lose concentration because we are dismayed We lose concentration because we are disgruntled We lose concentration because we are discouraged How do we handle failure? Be inspired to keep going Be intense in effort Be inclined to continue searching Be influenced by Christ’s example
