Failure is the fertilizer that feeds success.

It stinks and is unpleasant to handle,

but without it success is unattainable.Seedling

    So if I am reading this right I should stink when I am engaging with folks in my ministry in and out of the jail. WORKS FOR ME!

    As we say in the tech world – fail fast, you’ll create lots of fertilizer.

    When standing in a field of failure, a man can see his success into eternity.

    I wonder if there’s a time in each of our lives where we get to sit with clean hands by our mature and thriving garden, enjoying the fruits. I’m gonna pray for that.

      Oh, definitely. But I doubt there’s ever really an all-downhill-from-here-on stage. We’re not made that way. When things go well for too long, we get restless and seek new challenges, even if it’s just to be the best chess player at the retirement home. And new challenges mean new chances to fail.

    It’s not failure until you give up.

    That’s a very good point! If we’re too afraid of failure, we’ll never succeed!
