Boy, was I wrong

Most folks who know me will probably say that I am a confident person. I am not arrogant or cocky as some have described me but I am certainly confident. The way I like to describe my confidence is that I am confident in the things that I can do. But, I am also confident in the things I cannot do, which are many. However, that has never stopped me from trying.

My wife has stood there several times and said, "I cannot believe all the things that you can do." My reply is that we grew up doing a lot of things on our own - electrical, plumbing, building, mechanic work, etc. And, I always like to ask, "Do you know what makes me different from most folks?" She knows the answer to this but I will share it with you -  I am not afraid to fail. I have failed so many times that I guess I have sort of gotten used to it. And, I think the fact that I am not afraid to fail gives me confidence.

Today's word is an attributed quote, which goes, "Confidence doesn't come from always being right. Confidence stems from not fearing to be wrong."

There is no reason to fear being wrong; just admit when you are and move on. There is nothing wrong with looking at a big project and thinking, "Yeah, I can do that." Just to find out later that, "No, I can't do that." The fact that you tried to begin with will give you confidence to pursue other daunting tasks.

Here's the deal...get some confidence that you are going to fail because YOU ARE. Then, go out and try to accomplish all that GOD intends you to accomplish. Now, if you will concentrate on what GOD wants you to do, you will absolutely accomplish His will. On the other hand, along the way, you are going to try some things on your own - and, you are going to fail. Don't let that failure stop you from trying. Failure breeds confidence. I am confident that there are things that I will NEVER try again.

Be Blessed,
