From Apostles Desk.... Do not give up on your goals. So what if you failed miserably. So what if you missed your first deadline, 2nd deadline, 3rd deadline. So what if you aren't getting the support from your friends. I know people that choose not to set goals anymore because they were tired of not reaching them on time or they were sick of failing too much. They got tired of feeling like a loser. They got tired of all the comments from so called "friends" giving advice about not risking too much because you might fail. WHAT????? Greatness requires failure. Failure is only temporary....it's not your identity. Greatness requires perseverance. Greatness requires you to sacrifice your EGO at the front door and get over yourself. You are only a loser if you quit on yourself. I fail like crazy......I'm not a loser. I miss my own imposed deadlines all the time. I rarely exceed my own expectations. I never feel like a loser...but I've noticed something about all those failures, rejection, mistakes and missed deadlines......I'm better now. I'm achieving more success. I'm having more impact now. I live with more significance daily than I did 10 years ago. WHY? Not because I've arrived by any stretch.......but because I'm still running, still pursuing, still serving and reaching for a bigger purpose. I'm still making forward progress....in the midst of my mistakes. I'm not giving up! Stay the course! Successful people fail more than you realize....but they learn what not to do for the next round. Bob Chapman, the CEO of Berry Wehmiller, has spent 41 years learning and failing forward to turn his business from a $20 Million company in 1975 into a $2.4 Billion company today. But that's not what's most exciting about his story. He's turned his success into significance. He's acquired over 80 companies over the past 41 years because of a desire to care for his people like family. He's created a culture where EVERYBODY MATTERS. He simply has chosen to stay the course to live a life of Significance! Significance is a choice to stay the course and live with purpose through the pain, upsets, failures and obstacles. Make 2019 the year you shed https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5Hyw-lzoq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s32n8xi78kf0
