CO3 Ep. 53 | Embracing Failure | Personal Stories Shared

Ep. 53

In this episode, Lisa and I talk about Embracing Failure. Our prayer for you is that your failure doesn't define you, but rather, REFINES you. Remember... God NEVER wastes a hurt. He will leverage your failure for His glory and your good. Trust Him and Watch Him!


QUOTES

“Failure is really a pile of garbage that you are either standing on or lying under.” (Dave Ramsey) 


Winston Spencer Churchill famously said “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts”


Thomas Edison (speaking of the light bulb) — “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”


What to do when you fail…

Failing sucks! Embrace the suck!


Know your value! You have value…not simply because of your success or achievements but also because of the wisdom and knowledge gained from your Failure. 


Failure hurts! But don’t fear! Don’t fear…God never wastes a hurt!! Own your failure…but watch God redeem your failure and transform your life and influence. (ie Peter)

  • 89. CO3 Ep 89 | Two Types of Pain

    39:43
    On this episode of the podcast, Lisa and I talk about the Two Types of Pain: The Pain of Disappointment and The Pain of Discipline. Temporary discomfort from discipline is much lighter than the lasting pain of not reaching your potential due to lack of discipline.Hebrews 12:11 says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been TRAINED by it.""We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." --Jim RohnPursue Discomfort.Embrace the Suck.Do Hard Things.Contact us at spencer@thecordofthree.com or on Instagram at @cord_of_3
