Failure can be devastating.
Just recall your most painful failures.
Have you failed in school? Have you experienced waiting outside the registrar’s office, your body sweating, your knees shaking, your stomach churning, praying that your grade isn’t a 72% but 75%–or you get kicked out of school? (Been there, done that.)
Have you failed in your job? In your business? Did you lose money in your investments? Have you plunked in hard-earned money in a business—only to have the money disappear? (I’ve experienced this ten times in my life…)
Have you failed in your diets? My friend tried the Atkins Diet and he failed. He tried the Mediterranean Diet and he failed. He tried the After Six Diet, and he failed. He tried the South Beach Diet, the North Beach, The East Beach, and the West Beach—and failed all of them too. Finally, he’s doing the Seafood Diet and its been working. What he sees, he eats.
Have you failed in your exercise programs? Have you decided to run each morning—and lasted only for two weeks? Have you bought a treadmill and now use it as a clothes hanger? Skywalker? Abroller? Abflex? ThighMaster? StepMaster? Used them for three weeks max, and are now symbols of your undisciplined life?
Have you failed in your love-life? Have you ever experienced a broken heart? Have you loved someone with all your heart, but that someone didn’t love you back but just wanted you to be a friend? (“But I don’t want to be just your friend! Grrrr!”) Or have YOU broken someone’s heart? Is your theme song, To all the girls I’ve loved before. Who travelled in and out my door Have you failed in your family life? As husband, wife, father, mother, sibling, child, grandchild?
Have you failed God?
Have you failed yourself?
People ask me how could I have written 27 books, so far. The answer is easy. It’s not because I have more brilliance. It’s because I have more blunders. Because every time I fail, I try to learn from my failures—and share this wisdom in my books.
Here’s God’s big message for you today. Failure is Temporary, but Victory is Permanent—because God cannot fail…
3 Lessons I Will Never Forget
A few years ago, I wanted to learn how to play badminton. I asked my friend Mike Joseph to teach me how to play. Mike was phenomenal in badminton. He has been playing the sport for 30+ years. Before badminton became fashionable, he was already playing it as a kid. I bet when he was still in his diapers, he wasn’t holding a rattle, he was holding a badminton racket.
After two training sessions with him, something unforgettable happened. While we were dressing up to train, two guys invited us to a doubles game.
I was about to tell them, “Oh sorry guys, I don’t know how to play yet. Just in kindergarten…” But Mike blurted out, “Sure!”
My jaw dropped. Was he out of his mind? I told the two men, “Excuse me for a moment while I confer with my friend…”
I walked near Mike and whispered, “Are you insane? I don’t know how to play! These guys look like star players. We’re going to be massacred.”
He said, “It’s okay, Bo. Here’s what you do. Just stand in front of the net. If the shuttlecock goes near you, raise your racket and swat it down. Remember these two things: Give it your best shot. And I’ll take care of the rest.”
So I did the unbelievable.
With trembling knees, I took my place near the net. I looked at the two opponents on the other side and froze. They looked like pros. Because they had expensive badminton rackets. And matching outfits!
In the entire game, I did what Mike told me to do—stand near the net and swat whenever the ball came near me. And Mike would
