Highly Cherished, if success is the goal, failure must be an option. Failing early and failing small prevents failing later and failing big. When a baby begins to walk, it falls repeatedly over several attempts. That is how it masters how to walk. If the baby is too afraid of falling that it doesn’t attempt to stand and walk, it will crawl like a snail into adulthood. Tragedy! There is no success without making attempts. To make attempts is to risk failing. Scriptures never said the righteous will never fall. It says he might fall seven times. The important thing is that God will always be at hand to raise him back up. If the course is justified, pursue it. If you fall, get back up. That is how winning is done! Have a favoured day.
