Do you feel like a failure sometimes?

As social beings, we sometimes experience negative emotions when we feel we don’t measure up or can’t meet someone else’s expectations. Even if you feel like a failure, it doesn’t mean that you are one. Everyone fails sometimes. That’s why it’s important to be ready to encounter and overcome failure in your life.

What do you say when you fail at something?

Failure is a sign that I’m challenging myself to do something difficult. I can handle failure. I can learn from my failures. You may need to repeat a phrase or affirmation to ward off negative thoughts or to reinforce to yourself that you can bounce back. It’s important to accept an accurate level of responsibility for your failure.

Does failure make you a stronger person?

Failure isn’t about becoming a stronger person. It’s about trusting a stronger God. The honest truth is we can’t do it all. We can’t do it on our own. Some nights, pizza will be ordered for dinner. The house will be a wreck. Work will suffer. Being a Christian doesn’t mean we get perfection.
