One thing I’ve known
about successful people is that they take responsibility for their mistakes and
failure. If you are the type that never wants to accept his mistakes, there
will not be improvement in your life. Each time you tender reasons for your
failure or non-performance, you can never have sense of improvement on whatever
you are doing. Besides, when you transfer the blame of mistake to someone else,
you will never be able to identify the source of the problem.
A problem you fail to identify can never be
solved. David retained his position as a man after God’s heart because he will
always accept responsibility for his sins. Thus, despite his frailties and shortcomings
as a mortal, God kept on loving him. When God called Adam to find out why he
ate the forbidden fruit, rather than accepting the responsibility for the
mistake made, he shifted the blame on his wife, and his wife shifted the blame
on the serpent.
Genesis 3:12 “The woman you put with me, she gave me some
fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Those excuses were not strong enough to
convince God. Assuming he has accepted his failure God might forgive him and he
will continue to live in the garden. One major reason excuses are not tenable
is that, where you failed, someone like you had succeeded there before. Besides,
what is so hard for you to do, someone like you had done it effortlessly and
excellently well. I quite agree that mistake or failure could happen on the
road to success, admitting it as it were makes it easy for you to receive forgiveness
from God. Not only that, satan will find it difficult to put you in bondage of
guilt conscience.
Learn from your mistakes, it will make it
easy for you to move on.
Remain blessed.
