Defeat and Power

You may encounter many defeats but you must not be defeated. In fact, the encountering may be the very experience which creates the vitality and the power to endure.

— Maya Angelou —

None of us like to fail, but failure is part of the success formula.

Enduring the biggest failure in my life, which came in the form of a crippling addiction to prescription pain pills, made me a much better person.

Those of us who are addicts in recovery get a daily reprieve from our addiction based upon our spiritual condition.  For 31.5 years I’ve been working on my spiritual condition in order to stay sober.  The by-product of this walk in the Spirit is me becoming a better human being.

Don’t let failures and setbacks get in the way of living a good, productive life for your Creator.

P.E.A.C.E.
