Often
our willingness and determination meets success at the point of failure. For
example, the pole vaulter who runs and then vaults over the bar a little higher
each time never really knows how high he can jump until he fails to scale the
bar.
He
succeeds when he fails!
For
failure isn’t a matter of not reaching your goal! Failure is failing to give
your project all that you have!

Success
is achieving the maximum of your potential in the situation you are in. The
apostle Paul encouraged his readers to “be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in
the Lord’ (1 Cor. 15:58).

When you honestly have attempted your ultimate best, then you have been successful, in spite of failure. The people who are really failures are the people who set their standards so low, keep the bar at such a safe level, that they never run the risk of failure.
Success
is daring to face an embarrassing failure. It is only after the pole vaulter
knocks down the bar raised to its highest level that he knows he’s jumped as
high as he can.

Success
comes at the point where we cannot do any better than we are doing at this
moment. The applause doesn’t come until you have given all you have to give.
Spectators love the winners and they love the losers, as long as both give it
their best.
Enjoy
