To have extreme, laser-like focus, you must be willing to reject a lot of opportunities, even if they sound great.
Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them
Time is the first currency for success and one we all hold in common.
You receive the gift of time freely and equally every day, beautifully wrapped in twenty-four new hours to invest in whatever you want, and how you use each hour decides your success or the lack of it
Find something about yourself to laugh about every day.
The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.
You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.
To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.
There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it
Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.
Master the art of finding something to celebrate about in each moment and life will become an exciting adventure
Don’t try, be happy.
You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.
The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.
To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.
The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.
You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.
Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.
Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.
Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.
Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.
Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.
Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.
Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.
You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.
To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.
Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.
Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.
Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.
The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.
Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.
Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.
The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance
Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.
It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.
Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.
Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.
Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.
If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.
Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.
You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.
Your life is a direct reflection of your level of investment in yourself, and your success or the lack of it is often decided by your personal development level.
Commit to the lifestyle of investing in you first. It always produces the best return.
Investing in yourself is one of the foundations for better relationships, health, happiness, success, and prosperity.
You can’t excel in everything but you can be exceptional in a few things, so why not choose your life’s focus?
You will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your wisdom or personal development level.
Invest time, energy, and money into increasing your knowledge and wisdom so you can become the best you can be – it’s the best investment you could make.
Your wisdom decides your value, the size of the problems you can solve, the opportunities you create, and ultimately the level of success you experience.
To be successful choose an area of focus in life. It will identify where your energy should be invested and (more importantly) the source of your joy and success.
Progress can’t be achieved without investing in and constantly improving yourself.
Don’t ask what it will cost or how much of your time you will have to sacrifice. Instead, ask what it’s worth.
The level of success you experience externally is a reflection of your level of personal development internally.
Good mentors and coaches will help you reach your destination faster than you can by yourself.
If you wish to be and remain successful, invest a minimum of five to ten per cent of your income each month and your time each day on your personal growth and development.
Success can’t be achieved without personal development and constantly improving yourself.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that your dreams, desires or goals are more important than fear.
Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.
Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.
Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.
Dare to be different.
Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.
Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.
You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.
Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.
You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.
Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.
To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.
Life goals hold the key to a lifetime of success.
At the end of your life you want to arrive at a well-designed destination rather than an unexpected destination, and you do this by setting life goals, not short-term, not medium, not long-term, but life goals.
Your goals should not be based on what you can do or what is possible but on what you want.
Failure is a pitfall of working without a plan.
Goals reveal your path to success, greatness and significance. Become a master goal setter and you will chart the course of your life.
Life should not be measured by duration alone but by donation also, by what you do during your lifetime.
Goals help you look towards the future with anticipation and excitement rather than with anxiety, and when clearly defined and broken into smaller steps, they enable you pay the price needed to achieve your dreams.
The greatest value in the goal process is the skills, the knowledge, the discipline, and the character you develop in pursuit of your goal.
Achieving your goal should always be of secondary importance. Your focus should be on becoming the kind of person deserving of the goal.
Be specific about what you want. Decide, define, describe, discuss and develop your plans and then act on them.
In selecting any goal you should focus on the reason – without a compelling reason your resolve will weaken.
There is a direct relationship between the number of times you attempt a task and the likelihood of success.
Effort is the foundation of all achievements and is the single greatest competitive advantage and quality you must consistently apply to achieve your dreams.
You must discipline yourself consistently to do what others do occasionally in order to have the future few will get to experience.
Talent is never enough. Effort, not talent, is the key to success.
Your rewards in life will be in proportion to the effort you apply.
Talent helps, but success is only achieved and sustained through consistent effort.
Success is not simply about intelligence and ambition. The time invested, the quality of preparation, and the effort applied are essential to excellence or mastery.
Working hard alone without being smart and consistent won’t lead to success.
Wisdom allows you to decide how best to apply yourself to get the most return on your time and energy invested.
Success isn’t entirely a numbers game, but numbers play a part.
Hard work without purpose seldom leads to success.
To be successful you must be willing to work hard, work smart, work consistently, and most importantly do all three simultaneously over a long period of time.
Goals are the result of bringing your dreams, ideas, and ideals into a real and examinable form by giving them permanence in written form.
They are probably the single most important deciding factor for long-term success, and your ability to set and make plans to achieve them is the master skill to your successful future.
Long-term goals provide focus, but inspiration comes from the accomplishment of short-term goals.
In order to be successful you must decide to be intentional about what you do, how you live, and who you are becoming.
Achieving a goal is not the most important part of the process. The destination should never be your primary purpose or objective.
Reasons are the fuel for goal achievement. Without a strong enough reason, it’s impossible to persevere.
The person you grow to become in pursuit of a goal makes the journey a memorable experience.
Life isn’t about what you have, it’s about who you are.
Select carefully and continuously review your circle of influence, and be unapologetic about who you exclude.
Love everyone but chose your friends with caution.
Difficult times revel true friends but also the unfaithful in your life. Be attentive always, but especially during tough times.
Don’t be naïve – appearance matters. Style comes before substance during first impressions. People judge based on what they see before they find out what’s within.
You’ll live your life at the least common denominator of those you spend the most time with if you are not watchful.
Your associations play a crucial part of your success equation. Study them closely because they will help or hinder you from reaching your potential.
Don’t leave it to chance, find success and replicate it.
Your environment and the associations you keep will affect how you think, feel, and act, and ultimately the results you get.
You are the best thing that will happen to someone today.
Your ability to learn from the experiences of other successful people is one of your most important habits that will give you the best chance of success.
If you wish to be successful, you have be willing to invest the time, energy, and money necessary to associate with the right people.
Others have seen and experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly, and their experiences serve as models you can learn from.
You rob yourself of reaching your maximum potential and the best chance of success when you try to succeed alone.
Get around people who are trying to make a difference in the world. Iron sharpens iron.
Although failure is a good learning experience, you don’t have to go through life making mistakes if they can be avoided.
You could be performing below your potential in areas where you are relying on your own experiences alone and without the guidance of a trusted mentor.
Develop a strong thirst for positive associations and learning from others, because the right people can take you further than you can go on your own.
Success is not achieved in a vacuum: the people you spend most of your time with and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts play a significant part in your success or lack of it.
Incredible ideas, results, and outcomes are possible when two or more minds come together for a common purpose.
Generosity creates the higher life. There is no nobler virtue than the care one person shows to another.
Less is more, especially in relationships. You must understand and appreciate the importance of quality in relationships over quantity.
Become skilled in the process of selecting whom you allow into your circle of influence.
Don’t live your life in the future without any planned rewards for your effort and sacrifices today.
Anything in your life achieved too soon or too freely with little sacrifice is lost too quickly
Be willing to give up something you believe to be of value to get something of greater value.
The promise of the future is only possible when the price is paid in full and in advance.
You are often prevented from reaching your full potential because you hold so tightly to your past success.
To become successful, you have to let go of something to get something else of greater value.
Be willing to constantly travel towards the dreams of your future and don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.
Success comes with a promise and a price. The price has to be paid in full and in advance before the promise is fulfilled.
If you are serious about achieving your desired goals, be willing to let go of the small pleasures found in the moment that may sabotage your chances of experiencing true pleasure when the sacrifice is paid.
The pursuit of any worthwhile goal requires that you give up something that feels comfortable, secure, and safe in the moment to get you closer to your future dreams.
The level of success you will experience can be predicted by looking closely at the sacrifices you are willing to make.
The discipline of delaying gratification is a factor for predicting success.
In the success equation, subtraction comes before multiplication or addition. You must sow before you can reap a harvest.
Without a compelling vision to draw you away from your present and pull you through any challenges and into the future, it becomes easy to settle for a lesser life than the one you could achieve.
If you pay the price for success, you win. If you avoid payment, you lose. It’s really that simple.
Your willingness to sacrifice who you are today for who you need to be in the future is a necessary decision on the success journey.
You can only build on success, but to do this you have to be willing to let go of your last success and use it as a stepping stone for your next achievement.
Success has more to do with what you are willing to sacrifice than your skills, talent or IQ.
Success comes as a result of working towards fulfilling your potential and closing the gap between who you are now and who you are capable of becoming.
The greatest obstacle to your progress and growth is often your unwillingness to pay the necessary price through sacrifice.
Be willing to constantly travel towards the dreams of your future, and don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.
Your vision helps the world identify you at the appropriate time.
Those whom you spend most of your time with, and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts, play a significant part in who you become and the future you have.
Those in your inner circle can significantly influence your success and the progress you make towards achieving your dreams.
Success is achieved by the deliberate consistent discipline of taking small steps daily rather than one large step occasionally.
Taking action provides immediate feedback and an opportunity to review your progress to see if you are on the right track.
The first step may be the hardest, but once you take action you create motion, which in turn builds momentum.
Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success.
The best way of creating motivation is to do something. If you take action, motivation will follow
Waiting for things to happen is like daydreaming. To break out of that cycle, you must be willing to take the first small step.
Quit thinking and take the plunge. The way to get started is to stop talking and start doing.
Success is in direct proportion to the level of consistency in the application of the daily disciplines and actions required.
If your actions are combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.
Consistency in action is easy once you convert your daily disciplines and activities into habits.
Consistency is the difference between game excellence and an excellent game. Successful people do consistently what the others do occasionally.
Feedback is to success like rest is to the body.
What you do consistently shapes your life.
Your success will be in direct proportion to your level of consistency in your application of the daily activities and actions needed for success.
Never allow your life to be dictated by what you can see by sight, be guided by your inner vision.
Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists.
A vision is a promise of the future as seen in the present.
Vision inspires and clarifies what needs to be done in the present to achieve the promise of the future.
To achieve success, you need to develop the ability to see through your mind’s eye continuously.
The most successful individuals and leaders achieve their dreams because they have a clear vision they have committed their life to.
Success is built on what you are able to see and create with your mind.
The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is in their ability to see not only with their eyes but also their minds.
The power and magnetic pull of your vision is hinged on the purpose and passion behind it and, most importantly, the intent.
Your life today is a direct reflection of the decisions you made and the actions you took.
Your vision helps you filter your decisions or choices and directs your actions.
Your vision is a glimpse of your purpose and a picture of your larger dream.
Waiting is often a decision not to accept responsibility and is one of the reasons why some people never reach their potential.
The moment you choose to be accountable for all outcomes in your life, you distance yourself from the position of a victim and assume the role of a change agent.
It’s difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time – you have to choose one.
We all have within ourselves the inclination to try to pass the blame to others when things don’t work in our favour. The ultimate challenge comes from suppressing this innate desire and replacing it with accountability and ownership for all things, good or bad.
One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.
It’s easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.
Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.
Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.
A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.
To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take consistent and improved action over a defined period.
Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success. When combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.
The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.
You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.
Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.
Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.
Consistency in action is an essential component of success.
To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take massive action over a long period, even when there is no evidence of progress.

Misery teaches you the value of joy. It reveals to you the gravitas of human life.
Perfection is born of imperfection.

Turn your failures into lessons, your obstacles into opportunities, your tragedies into triumphs, and in no time you will turn your dreams into reality.
Pain that results in success is better than pleasure that results in failure.
An archer must never blame a target for missing it.
If you were able to fall a hundred times as a child and rise, you are able to fall a thousand times as a grown up and soar.
If you fail a thousand times, find a thousand and one ways to succeed.
If the road to your dreams is full of potholes, take the highway.
A bird does not give up flying because it failed on its first attempt.
When excellence comes in at the door, failure flies out the window.
People fail because one of two reasons:1: They don't know what to do to improve2: They know what to do and simply aren't doing itEither way you can take action and change your life.
When you feel that others are lacking and failing ....first assess the skill, style, quality, results, mindset, support, professionalism and spirit with which you yourself play the game.
Sometimes we are tested with a great idea or opportunity just to see if we will act upon it, however the timing may not be right. We are being prepared for something else down the road... When we understand that all things happen for our benefit and we trust in the Lord, then we can accept what we have termed as "failures" knowing that in the end it will all work out and we will be happy.
Use your special gifts to fulfil your divine purpose.
Reach for the stars, not your fears.
Use the arrows failure throws at you to hunt for success.
Because failure works double time, to get success, work triple time.
Step up your game and success will step up to you.

Without hope we fail to exist.
Life gives us experiences for personal development. Appreciate the lessons and be a learner.
Life is a teacher. We are the student.
You know who you are and what you are capable of, because of your own personal history and the experiences you gained throughout that history.
Be Courageous: Succeed or Fail Monumentally!
Hang on! God will be thy strength in any act of your pursuit.
Greatness emanates through endurance and triumph over the difficulties in life.
Disturbing encounters in life spur reflective thinking that jars a person from his or her exhausted ideologies and way of living. A person who lives passionately will develop a philosophic outlook because the road of excess leads to knowledge. Enthusiasm will frequently make a person look foolish, and result in intermittent periods of despondency and self-questioning, yet only exuberance and a degree of risk-taking leads us to wisdom.
When one verse in life ends in ignominy, we can use the glimmering marvel of nature’s splendor and frayed edges culled from the black linen of past failures to write uncanny poems that give voice to the fissures in our hollow, reflective poetry that echoes our supple inner world of cherished dreams colliding with the serrated edges of savage realism.
Don't be afraid to bite on a giant, learn from the mosquito
Something important I have learned is patience, and turning each failure into a learning experience. ..Instead of calling them "failures" I call them "lessons". Instead of saying, "I failed at that," I say, "I learned from that." Each failure has taught me something incredibly valuable and by recognizing this I can see the hand of God in my life in situations where most people would feel abandoned by Him.
Sometimes we learn the lessons of life through pain, melancholy and the vicissitude of life and sometimes we learn the lessons of life through joy and comfort. Whatever the case may be, the most important thing is the great lesson we learn out of the lessons life teaches us. If you fail to learn the lessons greatly, life will teach you a great lesson.

No mountain is too high, but so many people can't climb even a hill. There is always a way to the top, but so many people can't even get the mid and many miss the way. Life is real and the journey of life comes with rules. Mind the real and distinctive rules that lead to success and you shall get to the very peak of the mountain of success surmounting all barriers, challenges and puzzles along the journey to success with a great degree of ease!
Today is another day! Yesterday is gone but not its memories. There were so many things we expected yesterday which did not happen and what we least expected happened instead. Some are still expecting something. Expectation is a pillar of life. We all do have our expectations for today. Though we may or we may not be able to tell with certainty how our expectations would materialize. We ought to take life easy. Well, it may not be so easy to take it easy but, take it easy! Stay focused and entrust your trust in God. After all what you least expects can happen; serendipity can visit you and stay with you forever at a twinkle of an eye. The coin of life can however turn within a moment of time and your expectations can become a big had I know and a night mare; the vicissitudes of life can rob you at any moment of time. No one knows what the next second really holds. What matters in life is to do what matter; plant the seed of life God has entrusted in your hands and dare to ensure its abundant fruitfulness. The very problem in life is living to neglect the very reasons why you are living because of the problems you may face in living why you must live. When you trade why you must live for why you must not live, you are ruled by what you know but you do not know how it is ruling you. Once we have life, let us live for life all about living and living life is life!

It is easy to give up than to endure. Always choose the latter.
The pursuit of our dreams is not without any difficulty. Those who triumph have learn’t to overcome the difficulty.
If have the gift of prophesy, all wisdom and knowledge and have no love, I have failed to manifest my true soul.
May your find strength to pursue your dreams.
We are strengthening by different experiences in life;Sad times, happy moments.Poverty, riches.Failure, success.Troubles, good times.Losing, winning.
An inexhaustible capacity to engage in sin is what makes human beings capable of living a virtuous life. To err is human; to seek penance is humankind’s unique act of salvation. Whenever a person fails, it is often their overwhelming sense of anguish that drives them forward to make a second attempt that is far more bighearted than they originally envisioned. The need for redemption drives us to try again despite our backside enduring the terrible weight of our greatest catastrophes. There is no person as magnanimous as a person whom finally encountered tremendous success after previously enduring a tear-filled trail of hardships and repeated setbacks. In an effort to redeem our lost dignity, in an effort to regain self-respect, we find our true selves. By working independently to better ourselves and struggling to fulfill our cherished values, we save ourselves while coincidentally uplifting all of humanity.
A person who cultivates any interest in self-improvement will necessary encounter successes and failures, both of which life lessons can be useful to remember when seeking distant mileposts. Failure stimulates evaluation and new learning. Success stimulates development and retention of good habits.
We live a life bounded by the perception of the self. Existence entails tabulating our personal contact with reality and plumbing the substance of the self. The loftiest task of all is to dream a worthy life and then go live it without fearing the unknown. It is wonderful to live; we must cherish our time by loving other people and adoring nature. We find ourselves through trial and error. We must not allow failure, pain, disappointment, heartache, or sour feelings to daunt us because each of these emotional indexes interprets our dream world intermixing with reality.
Most startup failures result from entrepreneurs who are better at making excuses than products.
If you don't build your dreams, regret will build your nightmares.
You don't have to be successful on a grand scale like winning a talent competition or writing a New York Times bestseller - if you have enough small things that you can be successful at then eventually they outshine all your failures.
One great enemy we must all endeavor to fear not conquering is fear. Fear can cripple purpose and purposeful life. Fear asks question we must fear. Fear makes vision a nightmare. One must always cross the barrier of fear to get to the great city of true purposefulness. A great number of us who are unable to live to accomplish the true reason for our existence on earth are unable to cross the barrier of fear in the first place.
Learn how they failed and succeeded, then fail on and succeed
Failure exists. Yes! Failure exists. Don’t expect to meet all your expectations in life; however, expect to do everything you must do to realize your expectations and success. These two things success and failure have in common; they both responds to uncertainty and they are triggered by action.
Failure is constructive feedback that tells you to try a different approach to accomplish what you want.
It is an inherent nature of life: Whenever success is in your reach, it tosses either an unexpected obstacle or an alluring offer, straight on your path. That unexpected manifestation, obstacle or offer, would either prompt you to press the panic button or distract your focus from your target. As you become busy dealing with the fresh situation, time, with its own flair, flies miles away from your reach, with the reward in offer. Those who endure, without getting disturbed by the obstacle or decoyed by the illusive offer, will reap the fruit. Others will flop, falling as victims to life’s conspiracy.
Stay strong. Focus on the ultimate goal.
Be encouraged! You can fulfil your dream.
Life gives us many test. We must graciously take each test!
In the game of life;Sometimes we win,Sometimes we loss,Either ways, we should always keep playing.
You will work long days, early mornings & late nights . you will have many associates, but few or no friends. You will experience doubt, pain, confusion & failure. You will be single unless he or she understands your passion. You will be given props for your hard work. people will want you to do good, but never better than them. For that you will do many things alone.
Everyone at some point in life have faced rejection and failure, it is part of the process to self realisation.
There is always a storm before a calm.There is always a darkness before daylight. There is always turbulence before quietness.There is always sacrifices before a great victory.There is always awaiting before a breakthrough.There is always prayer before an answer.There is always pain before joy.There is always failure before success.There is always pregnancy before the birth of new born baby.
Giving up on a purposeful journey of life is as deadly as death! When you pursue with tenacity, and strive through the adversities and the vicissitudes of life with a mind of fortitude and get to the end of the journey, you shall surely see life. Awake! Arise and go! Never ever give up!!!
Keep your hope in the Lord.
Failure generates its own majesty. Defeat becomes a panoptic stain on the soul; it creates its own all-embracing pathos. Reverses engulf us in fleshy feelings of self-pity, sorrow, and apathy. Resounding setbacks might even be subtlety attractive because it means we can give up trying. It is tempting to accept defeat, surrender to our insecurities, and admit that because of failing to accomplish one particular goal that the best part of our life was wasted. Cynically writing ourselves off as a failure, we are free to capitulate to the emptiness of our lives.
No age of life is inglorious. Youth has its merits, but living to a ripe old age is the true statement of value. Aging is the road that we take to discern our character. Fame and fortune can elude us, but character is immortal. We must encounter a sufficient variety of experiences including both failures and accomplishments in order to gain nobility of character.
Every form of life must struggle. Life is an aberration; death is ordinary. Life requires obstruction, conflict, reverses, and resolve. Life requires questing. Questing provides the meaning that we seek, a purpose to justify the inevitable struggle to live knowing the absurdity that we must die.
A feistiness of spirit girds us in the most treacherous of moments. A metamorphosis of spirit often occurs after a person conscientiously surveys the resultant outcome of surviving a momentous ordeal and they transfigure personal heartache into a magnanimous manner of living in a just and righteous manner.
The elements of trial and error, similar to earth and sky, and fire and water, delineates the constituent modules of our lives. Living robustly includes more failures than successes. We achieve adeptness to living by exhibiting a willingness to make good faith mistakes and learn from each misadventure. Every effort that fails to achieve our expected result is understandably frustrating. The fact is that without ideas and dreams and devoid of occasional crash landings, a person can never hope to achieve any worthy acts to temper resounding personal disappointment. Meaningful success is ultimately defined when a person dies, when an entire life’s work devoted to performing passionate and compassionate enterprises can be judge as a whole unit.
The Lord knows all - His timing and reasoning is perfect. If we really trust Him, then we no longer see our failures as a bad thing. We will see them as an answer to our prayers even if we don't understand how in the moment.
You shall not be afraid to hear bad news. God will strengthen you.
We can learn as much, if not more, from failure, from promising paths that turn into dead ends. The vision, understanding, patience, and wisdom that informed Steve's last decade were forged in the trials of these intervening years. The failures, stinging reversals, miscommunications, bad judgment calls, emphases on wrong values-the whole Pandora's box of immaturity-were necessary prerequisites to the clarity, moderation, reflection, and steadiness he would display in the later years.
