Lessons of Failure

Lord, are you trying to tell me something?

For...

Failure does not mean I'm a failure

It does mean I have not yet succeeded

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing

It does mean I have learned something

Failure does not mean I have been a fool

It does mean I had enough faith to experiment

Failure does not mean I have disgraced

It does mean I have dared to try

Failure does not mean I don't have it

It does mean I have something to do in a different way

Failure does not mean I am inferior

It does mean I am not perfect

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life

It does mean that I have an excuse to start over

Failure does not mean that I should give up

It does mean that I should try harder

Failure does not mean that I will never make it

It does mean that I need more practice

Failure does not mean that you have abandoned me

It does mean that you must have a better idea
