Food For Thought #24

In which I talk about failure.

Well, first off I apologize, usually I try to make sure my posts go up early, but today I got a little late. Sorry about that. It just took me until now to make up my mind what I wanted to post about.  

We've all failed at something in our lives, it's a fact of life. 

For me pursonally I have failures every day. Mainly in one part of my life; my self control. I end up saying and doing a lot of things I regret right after I do them, and the only thing I can do about them then is apologize. 

Failure can get you down and its not easy to admit. But let me tell you something, once you know you've failed, admit it to God, let him work it out with you instead of getting upset about it. It feels so much better then trying to deal with it on your own.

Below is my favorite quote about failing:

And here is a poem I wrote back in January about failing. I hope you enjoy this.

My heart has quite an ache

I’ve made another mistake 

It not a big one 

It’s not like I pulled a gun 

But one of my friends is offended 

For a fear I never mended 

It seems most of my problems are caused by fear 

And the images it, in your brain, does sear 

I keep making these stupid little errors 

And it gets flung back at me like I’m looking in a dozen mirrors

I want to break down crying at my faults

And the whisper telling me that I’m wrong never halts

I will rise victorious  

But it won’t be very glorious 

Because unlike book a character

I have little irritations as a factor 

But today I will smile 

And will go that extra mile 

Because when all is said and done 

It will change someone
