How will this be, Mary asked the angel, since I am a virgin? The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:34-35 Todays Preaching Insight... 10 Reasons Youre Probably Going to Fail In a recent blog posting, Tony Morgan talks about reasons why leaders fail: Its not your passion. If it doesnt make your heart beat fast or cause your mind to race when youre trying to sleep, youre probably doing the wrong thing. You dont have a plan. You need a vision, and you need to identify specific steps to make that vision become reality. That includes a financial plan. (I happen to believe you need direction from God on this.) Youre waiting for it to be perfect. Test-drive it. Beta-test that new idea. Youll fall into the trap of inaction if you think it has to be absolutely right from day one. Youre not willing to work hard. Everything worth pursuing in my life has involved discipline and perseverance. Itll outgrow you. Keep learning. Keep growing. But more importantly, build a team of people including leaders who can be who youre not. Youve had success in the past. Ive watched organizations hang on to a good idea for too long. Time passes. Momentum fades. Its risky to let go of the past and jump on the next wave. Youre unwilling to stop doing something else. Complexity is easy. Simplicity takes discipline. You cant build a healthy marriage if youre unwilling to give up dating other women. Who/what do you need to stop dating? You wont build a team of friends. Anyone can hire from a resume. You need to find people you want to share life with. In the long run, great relationships will get you out of bed in the morning. You wont have the tough conversations. When breakdown happens (and it always does), someone needs to put on their big-boy pants and initiate the difficult conversation that leads to relational healing. Youre afraid of failure. When fear consumes you, it will cause you to do stupid things. Youll let negativity distract you. Youll embrace the known and grow comfortable with mediocrity. The more often you fail, though, the more often youll find success.
