James 1:2-4 NIV Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. "I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan- American professional basketball player So what was it about Michael Jordan that allowed him to be so successful with so much failure under his belt? Can you remember a time when you failed repeatedly? While it may not have built up your confidence, it would toughen up your determination. However, you must give that permission to yourself. You hold the key to the door of determination or the dungeon of depression. You allow the future to happen. Welcome the failures as opportunities to grow and know yourself better. Then determine to practice, practice, and practice more . . . Not for perfection, but for excellence. There is a difference. You are NOT what you fail. You ARE what you achieve.
