Thankful For The Failures

There are trials that we get through and then there are times that we flat out fail.

Some of the failures are of our own doing and some are out of our control and just happen.

No matter what circumstances cause you to fail it is always an opportunity to grow, to change and to become better because of it.

If we are able to do that then is it really failure? No. We can be better because of it and as we look back we can be thankful for it.

Don't fear failure. Use It!

"Failure is never fatal. But failure to change can and might be." John Wooden
