You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it. What you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do. Your effort to continuously improve should never stop. All the strength you need is inside you. You are not failing, you are succeeding slowly. The Lord drives.
