What your experience when you failed to achieve something?

My husband said that when we did not gain money, we gained experience.

Comeon dude !! "Failure is a stepping stone to success". . When you fail to achieve something its just another oppurtunity to achieve the same in a better way !! Cheerup

I try to be positive about things. Most recently, I didn't achieve something I wanted because I wanted a higher grade for my degree. I only got a third. Of course, I was disappointed but, with support from my other half, I was reminded that I hadn't failed because I did gain the degree. I had worked hard for it. I know I could have worked harder but there were, again as the other half pointed out, so many other things going on. I completed something difficult while working, raising a family, caring for family, and doing goodness knows what else. So, rather than saying 'I didn't do that as well as I'd liked', I will say 'I did it, despite all the obstacles'.

When we get what we want, God knows what is good for us. When we get other than what we want, God knows what is better for us. When we don't get what we want, God knows what is best for us.
