There is a term going around that is used to explain our young people–snowflakes. Which means they melt the minute they sense any kind of defeat. Our society seems to be getting softer and softer when it come to handling our setbacks and failures.
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 get a daily reprieve from our addiction based upon our spiritual condition. For 29.5 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.
