Failure is either your friend or your enemy - and you choose which it is.
 If you play a dirge every time you fail, then failure will remain your enemy. But if you determine to learn from your failures, you actually benefit from them - and that makes failure your friend.
William Bolitho said, "The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on our gains. Any fool can do that.
The really important thing is to profit from your losses.
That requires intelligence; and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool."
Anyone can make failure their friend by maintaining a teachable attitude and using a strategy for learning from their mistakes. To turn your losses into profits, ask the following questions every time you face adversity: Recommend this article... |

Jesus formed His leaders personally. He called them first to be “with Him.”
 He appointed twelve - designating them apostles - that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.
Leaders build leaders, and Jesus took personal responsibility for each of the leaders He built. He did not delegate this to a “leadership development department” within His ministry.

What are you afraid of as a leader? On the top of many people's list is failure. Is it on your list too?
J.M. Barrie said, "We are all failures--at least, all the best of us are." In my 30-plus years of leadership experience, I've come to the conclusion that one of the most valuable but underestimated abilities that leaders can posses is the ability to do what I call "failing forward." It's more than having a good attitude about your mistakes, and it's a step beyond simply taking risks. Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move
forward in a better direction.
You see, everybody makes mistakes. But the real difference between average people and achieving people is their PERCEPTION OF and RESPONSE TO failure. Nothing else has the same kind of impact on people's ability to accomplish their dreams.
What do you dream of accomplishing? Unfortunately, no matter how gifted or knowledgeable you are, you will make mistakes along the way to your dream. Failure is the price you must pay on the road to success. That's just how it works. But the good news is that the better you are at failing forward, the sooner you can accomplish your dreams.
Before you put away your list of resolutions for the new year, look at the following misconceptions about failure. Take an honest inventory to determine if your perception of failure is what it should be. If you share any of these misconceptions, add to your list the resolution to change the way you think about failure.
1. PEOPLE THINK FAILURE IS AVOIDABLE. IT'S NOT.
You've probably heard the saying, "To err is human, to forgive divine." That was written by Alexander Pope more than 250 years ago. And he was only paraphrasing a saying that was common 2,000
years ago, during the time of the Romans. Things today are the same as they were then: People make mistakes.

"You are a very busy person with a lot to do. You don't have time to do all you need to do as it is." "You already believe in Jesus Christ. You already heard the Gospel." "Why should you spend time reading the Bible?"
First of all because reading the Bible, makes you get to know God better as His Child.
 The Bible must be read and studied because it is God’s word to you. 2 Timothy 3:16 states that the Bible is "God-breathed." Do you want to know your purpose in life? From where did you come? Is there life after death for you? After death, what? What is heaven and what are the entrance requirements’? Why does God permit the evil in the world? How can you make "good things" happening for you, and your fellow man?
Every newborn baby need food to grow.
To grow in your spiritual life, and to grow as a Christian, you need spiritual food.
