TOPIC: PAUSE AND APPRECIATE (Part 4)

Text: “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done”. -Psalms 9:1, ICB.

Our desire for everything to be perfect and in great order makes us feel like we are not doing anything worthwhile when we encounter challenges or fail at something. It’s okay to fail at something, it’s okay not to have all the answers, and it’s okay for your projections, plans, and best strategies not to have worked out.

We must be careful not to be too hard on ourselves, or we will invite unhappiness, anxiety, and other negative emotions into our lives.

Be careful not to see your mistakes and failures as a finality, and you should not feel bad about others knowing about your shortcomings. It is part of growth. Do not judge yourself for your imperfections; keep growing, keep learning and ensure you are enjoying the process.

You only have one life; do not lose perspective of what it means to live well. Even when things aren’t going as well as you would like, take a moment to appreciate the growth process.

Above all, own your mistakes and celebrate your wins, growth, and the lessons learned.
