More on failure
It is not for you to judge the journey of another’s soul. It is for you to decide who YOU are, not who another has been or has failed to be.
Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.
Rick WarrenRick Warren To the eye of failure success is an accident.
Ambrose BierceAmbrose Bierce Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.
Billy GrahamBilly Graham George Bush says he speaks to god every day, & Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.
Sam HarrisSam Harris Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made – or failed to make.
Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch You can only succeed. You cannot fail. Failure is impossible; it is an illusion. Nothing is a failure. Nothing. Everything moves the human story, and hence the process of evolution, forward. Everything advances you on your journey.
Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch I never blame failure – there are too many complicated situations in life – but I am absolutely merciless toward lack of effort.
