Yes, we are humans..

yes, we are all humans, we all make mistakes, and yes we are allowed to make mistakes, get to grips with that! But... learn from your mistakes. This was the HUGE lesson I learnt at Hillsong (church) on Sunday evening with a fellow lady cyclist.

So yes, we are allowed to fail, we are “programmed” to fail. Why? Because we are humans and we only learn from our mistakes. Champions are produced by making numerous mistakes, they are the athletes that never let go and give it their all until they have learnt enough and succeed. Don’t get me wrong, champions will fail again sometime in the near future, but they will understand failure this time around and it will be easier to learn from it and come back to winning ways.

I know this is quite weird for a blog entry, but it’s short and sweet and the word get out there. So go ahead, don’t be afraid to take a chance and risk making a mistake, but learn from them and rectify your actions the next time you implement them..

Couldnt agree more...Keep the faith has become an empty saying because we use it without really thinking about what we are saying...but keeping the faith is the only way!!
