    I’ve been feeling like a failure because I have been struggling with finishing my phd. But this uplifted me.

    I have been feeling like a failure. I have 2 surgeries to pay for in the next few months and sometimes feel like I failed when I have to scrimp and save to afford medical care. But in the end I always manage so I guess I am not a failure.

    Thanks for the reminder. I am doing the best I can.

    Failure is an event not a person. Heard a pastor recently say failure is something we can all learn from. Scripture says “For a man falleth seven times, and riseth up again…” Look at Lincoln. Only pride or lies from Satan keep us from completing God’s plan for our lives.

    Wow! I always cried! I was so down. I did IVF and yesterday the result was negative, 4th time in a row and i feel like i am a failure! Gods speaks in different ways! I know that I will be a mom soon but maybe not now. Only God knows what his plans for us.

    I would take it even further:

    If I haven’t failed it means I’m not pushing myself far enough.
    or maybe
    If I haven’t failed it means I’m staying my comfort zone too much.

    I love these! (Have seen quiet a few on pinterest lately that I would love to make wall art with!)

    On my phone’s wallpaper right now: It’s a good day to have a good day.

    I know, simple but it reminds me I have a choice in the matter.

    Well timed! I failed at something today, and it hurt my ego and my pride. Still a little sore about it but this cheered me up a bit.

  10. Priscilla says

    Makes me think of what our pastor said this week: Failure is an event, never a person.

    Before I got married there was a church near my Mom’s house that would always put up inspirational quotes on their sign. One day I was feeling low and the sign read “Failure is an event, never a person.” I was instantly uplifted and the quote has stuck with me for years now.

    When I read the quote you posted today it took me back to that day.
    Thanks for the wonderful memory!
