As I get ready for
bed,
My mind starts doing
that habitual thing,
It couldn’t have
found a better time
than the time I’m
getting ready for some good rest?
My mind starts
thinking of these 5 words:
Live, Fail, Learn,
Grow and Excel
To break it down,
This is what came to
mind...
Live
I’m living right
now. Huuh!!!
I’m alive and well
thanks to our Father in Heaven.
But He created us
for more than mere living:
He created us for a
purpose.
Some find that
purpose at an early age,
Some take a life
time before they can figure it out,
But in our journey
of finding that purpose in our lives
We fail miserably.
Fail
We fail miserably!
We fail in the worst ways possible to man.
We get hurt and
discouraged. We at times feel lost.
We want to give up.
We fail time after time.
When we have the
courage to get back up and try again,
We drop again and
again.
But in all these
failures, we are presented with a God-given gift
to learn from our
mistakes.
Learn
We learn from all
our failures.
We learn from every
single little mistake.
We learn to talk, to
walk, to sing, to write.
We learn to love and
to hate;
We learn to fight
and make peace.
We learn from all
our mistakes and set backs,
and that’s when we
start to grow.
Grow
We grow when we are
able to learn from our previous setbacks.
We grow when we are
able to look at our past as a time of training.
We grow when we are
able to see our mistakes and move beyond them.
We grow when we are
willing to admit that we were wrong.
We grow when we have
the desire to develop and a strong will
to become a better
human being.
When we have reached
that point in our lives,
We excel.
Excel
Wow!!! That’s
everybody’s favorite spot in life.
We want to excel at
everything we do, at times to be recognized by others,
We want to live the
life of excellency where everything is perfect and comfortable.
Now, there is no
such thing as a perfect life,
but the feeling of
accomplishment is very much worth living for,
In order to be at
the top of the peak where the excellencies are
You must want to
live.
At times we want to
stop living,
but we dream big, we
dream of the great unimaginable.
It is time you start
living and make the unimaginable view-able.
You must live. Fail
and learn in order to grow into who you are meant to be.
It is then that you
will excel and live on the mountain’s highest peaks.
