Daily Prompt

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

From cradle to grave, every person experiences failure: a baby cries to be held in its mom’s arms; a kid pushes another kid to get his/her toys; a man frames another man to advance his own ambitions.  The one who seems to be a winner will become a loser, and the one who seems to be a victim will ultimately win it all. In life, ‘failure’ and ‘success’ are enemies, yet the relative of each other, as failure is the mother of success.  

No one escape from failure, even though being born into a house of gold and silver.  There are, however, those who grow stronger through hardship and turn failure into faith.  When there is a will, there is a way; when there is a good habit, there is a good life.  A good tree bears good fruit and a bad one bad fruit (Mathews 7:17-18).  

People who blame others for their own failures will continue to fail, but those who examine selves will grow from their failures.

Failure is a necessary component on the journey to success.  I learned, and continue to learn and renew myself.  Learning is lifelong—from cradle to grave.

“Habits: Good or Bad” ~ ✨

“Getting used to it” is the way of life. 

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Good habits formed in youth bring joy in later years.

But if the heart is bent on evil, and evil becomes habit, ruin often follows.

The sun rises and sets, the tides ebb and flow—the cycles never cease.

Heaven does not age, but people do.

Heaven does not change, yet we must be renewed, and transformed in heart and mind.

The one who makes a habit of renewal—

this is the true way of life.

Proverbs 4:23

“Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.”
