You have to FAIL to FLY
If you want to grow, you have to be willing to learn along the way. The tough part about this is that learning means “failing” and trying again. This requires a lot of humility. Not many are brave enough to do this. It takes a lot of courage, resilience, grit and passion.
As a child, you get credit for “how quickly you can learn” which inspires kids to keep trying (failing and learning) and growing!!! As an adult, that narrative changes and we only want to be good at things because that is when we get praise. Oh it is so tempting to only get praise!
When it comes to creating your dream life, you will have to do things you’ve never done to get to places you’ve never been. So if you are dreaming of something BIGGER, it is time to take action. This is the part that is less talked about because you experience intense growing pains. Yes, parts will be painful – but in the end, it will be beautiful because Romans 8:28 says “all things work together for good to those who love God”
Now, this blog is for my sisters in Christ so I do have to share the secret sauce: Ask the Holy Spirit for help. There will be times of uncertainty and you have to have the humility to understand you are only one person, you will never know everything – BUT, you have a resource who does.
Scriptures to lean on:
- Phil. 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
- Matt. 7:7 “Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find”
- Prov. 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom”
- 2 Corin 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness”
I hope these scriptures can be your armor as you step out in faith!
