Freedom to Fail (Freedom to Succeed)

Along the way I’ve found that one of the greatest joys of the journey is giving myself permission to fail, and to succeed.

 I recognize that my worth is not wrapped up in my successes or failures, how many people like me, how influential my friends are, what kind of shoes I wear, or the kind of car I drive. None of these define me; none change my worth. Nothing I do can change God’s view of me. Nothing can change my value in His eyes.
This is true freedom.
This is an awakening that frees me from the fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of what others might think. This freedom allows me to step outside of my comfort zone and realize that even if I fail it will not affect who I am, or who I become. My failures no longer define me.
So join me, give yourself permission to fail and to succeed, and plunge into this joyful journey.

Naked and Vulnerable (Thoughts from the Pot): Success or failure cannot change my value or my ability to be loved—these are unchangeable. My actions cannot change who God is. My actions cannot change how He loves me. These realizations give me freedom to succeed.
