Especially failures that might be noticed by those I love around me. This article helped me realize why I really dont do many hard things, it is because I AM afraid of failure.

A close friend of mine who I really admire has always been clever and knew when they went to university that they would probably graduate with a 1st (the highest class you can achieve in the U.K.) but instead decided not to compare to others or even simply sail through but pushed themselves to the limit with God's grace throught their time there. They have just received their final mark and they suceeded in getting not only getting the 1st they were expecting but the highest 1st ever achieved at our University. Now, when people ask what he got and then raise their eyebrows in question as to why he bothered working so hard, he can reply that he believes in working as if serving God directly and so working to each person's full potential not those around him. If you are blessed enough to have natural giftings fight stronger and build yourselves too so that each can do all things for His glory. Even for those who are blessed to be gifted in things, they can (and should) push themselves even beyond their comfort zone.

I needed to see this! I've struggled with failure for so long it's hard to have any other mindset. I was homeschooled my whole life, but really struggled through high school. Because I was basically teaching myself, I allowed the first failure to set the pace for the rest. I was so depressed during my high school years, and I think now that it was mostly because I felt like I simply couldn't rise above my failures, so I stopped trying. Now, two years later, I'm still allowing that mindset to control areas of my life. I'm afraid to finish this draft of the novel I'm writing because I promised this was the draft I'd send to a publisher. I know every good writer has gotten a million rejection slips before they've been published, and the key is just to keep sending out the manuscript, but I'm so afraid of rejection, I've not even let myself finish my story. That's just fear of man, which is not trusting God, which is sin! I have faced my fear of failure and conquered in a couple areas, but I have so far to go still! But I know that I can overcome by the grace of God! Thank you for this post. Wow, this is a great post! I needed to see this!

I started Algebra 2 awhile back and was swamped with having to put all these concepts that I'd learned separately together. But through persevering (even though it was tough!!) I can now do the problems a lot easier than when I first started out. Persevering and "doing hard things" REALLY DOES pay off in the end. Thanks so much for this post! Oh, this is so encouraging!

Some people who are extremely good at many things decide they do not to work on those few things that are hard for them. Many of my friends think that I am naturally really smart, but they have not seen the many frustrating moments when I do not understand my algebra! =) I may not be gifted with a brilliant mind, but God has gifted me with a determination that makes up for what I lack. Thanks for this great article!

I think we all experience our fair share of failure, but it does improve us, thus, I am thankful for it (sometimes...). I know that we can all do hard things, and with the strength of the Lord, we can do ALL things! We can be a-typical teenagers in that we don't give up when we taste failure, but work harder and overcome. Ahhh!! I love this website! It is like a view from the mountain!
