Failing, Succeeding, Daring Greatly

After the Milwaukee Bucks were knocked out of the NBA playoffs, their power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked if he considered their season a failure. “No,” was his answer. “You don't always win; some other people are gonna win. Some days you are successful, some days you're not, but it's not a failure, it's steps to success.”
“It is important to take risks and be willing to fail - to dare greatly. The true master uses the inevitable failures as a source of deep human connection.” – Arthur Brooks, From Strength to Strength
Affirmative prayer: I hold the descents in my life in high regard. In the midst of setbacks or so-called failures, I gather my inner resources, give thanks for lessons learned, and see my journey as bright with hope and charged with potential. I can do all things with clarity, commitment, and a deep sense of trust. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
