"Failure's hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever."
The author Po Bronson wrote these words, and they are telling and relevant for anyone involved in international ministry.
Think back for a moment on your life. Think back particularly to the various failures and successes that you've had along the way. How has that combo platter of failures and successes led you to exactly where you are today? Many times God will allow us to fail at something, or to at least not wildly succeed at it, because He knows that He has a better plan for us, as well as for our lives and our ministries, and He knows that a bigger success lies further down the road.
You don't necessarily have to regret the failures in your life. They may have been God's way of making sure that "the mix of praise and money and opportunity" didn't stop you from reaching your God-potential.
