What if I told you that you can’t fail if you don’t give up?

You would probably go after things with even more diligence than you are right now. That is because if you can’t fail then your fear goes away.

You live life with more freedom. You take the first step sooner. You take more risks. Missing the mark becomes a lesser ordeal.

Stop letting your past experiences or “failures” hinder your beautiful future. Stop focusing on what you wish you could have done differently and start focusing on the things you can actually do something about.

Don’t give up.

Be open to new experiences. Step out on a limb. Embrace change. Live for a new day.

All of these things set you up for more self-confidence, bigger goals and ultimately more success.

And I know you want more success, right?

So, what is a situation that you have had to stay persistent in, even when the odds were against you? You can leave your comment below.

  1. I almost quit my book when I wasn’t getting anywhere with a publisher. But my wife encouraged me to not give up and believe God had the right publisher for my book. She’s was right – and He did. I’m so glad I listened and didn’t give up. Thanks for this reminder!
