I've learned that I will make mistakes in everything I do... My marriage, motherhood, relationships and business.
I'm ok with it... Now. I used to get myself all worked up in a tizzy over every little thing that went wrong or every time someone pointed out a failure. But now, since giving up perfection, I know that it's all just part of life.
I'm not saying that I am a success at anything. But I do believe that I am succeeding in many things because I refuse to give up. Many failures equal success because I learn from the hard times. The conflicts. The tears. The anger. And change the way I approach, handle and act on the circumstance.
It takes a lot of prayer, discipline and desire to keep going when things get difficult. Believe me, the arrow on the right is how I feel almost everyday. But I continue to go up... because I refuse to give up. I'll get better and better and learn more and more.
Whether it's teaching my girls better, serving my husband more, or leading my team better... It takes effort and prayer to juggle it all.
Thank you all who have shown me grace through my failures.
God is good... All the time.
