Success by Failure

Very few people in life have mastered their area of gifting at the level of basketball superstar Michael Jordan. So when he shares the secret to his success, it’s worth paying attention.

There was no short-cut to his unsurpassed talent on the basketball court. The path actually was paved through determination, humility and a willingness to accept failure as part of the process.

Here’s the counter-intuitive way he describes it: “I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to make the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Rather than hide your past misses and failures or give up and walk away, learn from them. Invite God into the process of healing, transformation, and growth. And stay in the game.

Stay with God. Take Heart; Don't Quit. I'll say it again, Stay with God! (Psalm 27:14 MSG)
