We've been willing to settle for less, instead of stepping forward to take a shot at living an extraordinary life. I'm going to try to show you that what God has in mind for each of us is far more magnificent than anything we could imagine on our own. I'm going to talk about how every one of us can seek and claim our own unique spot in the universe and do things that will make a difference for us and for others for eternity. But first, I'm going to talk about what holds us back. Sometimes it is our fear of failure, but that is foolishness.
Failure is the prelude to most of life's significant successes.
Our failures point us in the direction of success. People who aren't failing frequently aren't trying often enough. Failure is nothing to be afraid of. Sometimes it is just a lack of imagination. I love the story about the two elderly friends Mabel and Joe both widowed and living in a retirement community.
