Choosing To Fail So You Can Succeed
IllustrationStory★★★★Robert Schuller, pastor of the Crystal Cathedral, once said that he chose to fail so he could succeed. He said, “I chose to fail at golf, because I wanted to succeed as a father.” Though he loved golf immensely, he knew that he could never devote adequate time to his job, his hobby, and his family ... so he gave up his hobby.
The point
Robert Schuller chose to fail at golf to succeed as a father, recognizing that complete devotion to everything is impossible.
