Faithfulness is the cornerstone of a Godly character. The result of embracing the grace resident in our life in Christ ... we find the courage to mature, grow, stretch, make right decisions. In His affirmation we become daring, faithful and resilient men. #cmnbrotherhood #mensministry #christianmensnetwork #dangerousnations #powerofpotential #mondaynightmen (at Jakarta, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLjnDl_BTlw/?igshid=x9o0c4wo8grh

God never planned a failure. Our lives were never originally planned for failure. God never builds or ends anything on a negative, always on a positive. Failure is the womb of success. You are only qualified to be responsible for success to the degree you are willing to be responsible for failure. Failures given to God are changed by His transcendent glory into things of good. #christianmensnetwork #cmnbrotherhood #powerofpotential #positivity (at Jakarta, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKT2aU8BaYy/?igshid=1igu6gibdh4yt

The pain of falling short is nothing compared to the shame of stopping short.

We all are unique and we have our own potential, skills and talents, but due to some of the things the we experienced in our lives it cause us to hide these gifts and continue to remain it buried within ourselves. 

All of us have experienced in some point of our lives the fear of failure. We are afraid. We stop, we don’t try, we give up and we don’t care, but if your going to

think about it, it seems that the reason why we got so frustrated is because we tried enough. We invested so much, and we hope so much and give everything that we have and the outcome might not be what we expect. This results to  depression, discouragement, and having the mindset of stopping short. It seems so easy for us to throw away everything that we worked so hard.  You already know your not doing all that you can do and at the same time you feel like you cannot do anymore.

Its not enough, and its all I’ve got.

 We try to limit ourselves and look our limitations.The fear of finding out that you don’t have what it takes causes us  to keep something into a reserve. 

I believe this is the cause why the man who was given one talent bury it all to the ground. He should have been faithful with what God has given him. 

4 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25:24-30

1. Potential is related to the reason why you exist.

The moment you stop living according to your purpose and potential is the moment you decay. We can pursue a lot of things but God will always keep us allign according to your purpose and destiny. You can graduate as a licensed nurse but pursue a carreer in politics. You can work at an Office, but still pursue your passion in volunteering. I believe we all have our own blueprint in life, and that blueprint is different from others. In Japanese they call it   Ikigai (生き甲斐, pronounced [ikiɡai]) is meaning "a reason for being".

We all have reason why we continue to exist today.  That’s why you can never push someone to do the things that you think are good for him/ her just because it was your blueprint.

I’ve been watching W- Two Worlds, wherein the male protagonist who’s a cartoon character brought the female protagonist whose living int the real world and story continue to evolves as the male protagonist discovered the real world and that he’s only a web toon character. It seems that as the character don’t live according to the reason of their purpose they disappear. 

And we also continues to rot and disappear if we will not walk according to the purpose that God has placed in your life. 

2.  Don’t let the shame of falling short stop you from pursuing your destiny.

We all feel the weight of  failure and depression, but  don’t let it go out of the way. Remember: you don’t exist to please other people. You exist because you have a purpose and calling to do. 

 Stop tormenting yourself over a potential you haven’t reach because you are judiging yourself over a purpose that isn’t yours.You can’t be what other people wants you to be, and you don’t have to do it.You are born to do what  God has made you suppose to do, and he will help you accomplished it. 

Its better to keep on continue to do the things, than to stop and then wonder one day how far you have fallen and how much time have passed. Its better to answer the question What should it be that WHAT IF and regreat that you didn’t do something,

The truth is we need tension in our lives. But then we resist the tension that would resist the truth. The truth that we haven’t arrive yet to the potential and purpose that he set for us. The truth that He is GOOD and FAITHFUL. If you will use all that you’ve got and work it according to its own purpose.

Process reveals potential. Embrace the process of pain, failure and it will reveal your potential. Be involved in the process. Work for it. 

“for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

If you can only see what God can do through you.Its not complete yet just because you believe it. What’s ahead of you is much more greater than what is against of you.
