CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve kind of had a recurring theme in my word, which is struggling with failure. Constantly worrying about failing at my job, failing as a friend, failing as a future spouse and father. Then I read things that say if you’re not failing at something then you’re not trying hard enough or trying new things and that failure is the best way to learn. So failure is always there, be it good or bad. However I came across a quote which really struck me, so I decided to share it. From Francis Chan:
“OUR GREATEST FEAR SHOULD NOT BE OF FAILURE, BUT OF SUCCEEDING IN THINGS IN LIFE THAT DON’T REALLY MATTER.”
