When you look back on your life, do you feel fulfilled, or regretful?
There are probably a mix of both in your memories. But what exactly causes the regrets? The shame, or embarrassment? The unfulfilled dreams? The pain associated with the past event. The wishing of a different outcome? The poor decision that left a trail of disappointment? Why would anyone want to live with regrets? Regrets are nothing more than daunting, demotivating, and damaging thoughts that devour and destroy your happiness, desires and dreams.
There is nothing positive about regrets. Success is getting what you want. Failure is giving up – especially give up what you really want for what you want in the moment.
Regrets can come in many different forms, but the worst regret of all – is not trying. If you give up and don’t try your hardest, those are the regrets that haunt you forever. If you remember that you could’ve, would’ve, or should’ve had a positive outcome, but you chose to fail – You chose to not give 100%.
Therefore, learn from your regrets to never have those experiences again. But more importantly, always fight to get what you want in the moments when life gets tough. When leaves you with a decision to win or lose, choose to win. At least if you don’t get what you want, you can look back and know you tried your hardest to get it.

Grace and mercy are two of the greatest gifts from God. For clarification, they are two very different things and important to distinguish. The difference between grace and mercy is that grace is the gift of freedom from the penalty of which we don’t deserve, and mercy is forgiveness from what we do deserve. For example, grace is not punishing a baby for crying, mercy is not punishing a man who chose to commit murder. Grace involves unconscious and unpreventable naivety, mercy involves conscious willing intent or conscious reluctant action through weakness.
Grace: Grace is not deserved. It is also not earned. Grace is a gift. It is an extension of patience and trust through our imperfect human nature.
Mercy: Mercy is the sparing of the harm or punishment one deserves for sin. Similar to grace, it is not earned, however, it is deserved. It is the moment one is given another chance even though everything points to guilt.

There is a misconception about failure. People believe that failure is the opposite of success. However, contrary to popular belief, failure is actually a predecessor to success. The more failures you endure, the closer you get to your goal.
Everyone faces trials, tribulations, setbacks, hardships, and speedbumps in their life, but it is not the occurrence that determines their character. It is what they do with it and how they move forward that does. So, fail quick and fail forward.
