Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
Isaiah 43:19
Experiments take trial after trial after trial because that's how we learn.
A child would never learn to walk if they didn't keep falling again and again. Through the experience of falling, a child discovers how to maintain balance and develop the strength to walk.
Every great cyclist has fallen many times in their quest to greatness. The key to becoming great at what you do is to keep trying.
"For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity." Proverbs 24:16
Keep trying
If you give up every time things go wrong, you will never open the door to new possibilities.
Most new opportunities don't manifest right after the first door you walk through. Instead, the first door leads to another, leading to another, which leads to another, which leads to great potential.
If you stop too soon, you will miss something amazing. First, you have to get a result to improve that result.
If you are going to get to the "great," you have to travel through the bad, the average, and then the good.
I heard a great statement years ago that says, "You can easily become an overnight success after 20 years of hard work."
2. Success is a journey
Success is a journey lived out step by step.
You don't always make giant leaps; you make steady progress day by day.
Even though you may have tried many possibilities, don't stop trying more things. You never know how far away you are from the right solution.
I often say, "You are only one idea away from a major breakthrough."
Thomas Edison said, "When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this – you haven't."
Breakthroughs happen for those who don't breakdown when they hit a wall.
Jesus said: "But the one who endures to the end will be saved." Mark 13:13
The epic moment of our success will be when we hear the Lord pronounce these words over our lives: "Well done my good and FAITHFUL servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master." Mathew 25:21.
Have a blessed week,
