Failure - Two Worlds

Imagine this. You've just failed to deliver on a national television, a well planned, well thought, speech that will influence millions. [Selah] - Imagine this. You've just asked a director or pastor in a church to try something that has a big chance of failing, which you both know, and you are shut down. [Selah]

What are the differences and similarities surrounding these two senarios?

Do you get the feeling that failure alienates you from moving on or forward?

It would seem that failure is but the last horizon the world and church must overcome to reliquish the right to BE RIGHT and to WIN. Its all still formulating and/or has been for quite some time in my mind and its beginning to make more sense as I witness strange decisions played out. Shouldn't we, the people who live from second, third, fourth, fifth - chances be more congniscent from whence we came? I came from failure. You came from failure. We all came from it. Shouldn't risks and chances appropriately find there way again into our daily walk? I'm finding more and more that being right - really isn't all that great. I just wanna do what is right - even if its gonna mean breaking down the opposition to risks and the desire to be right. I don't want to be so tight necked that I'm not willing to fail and they go at it again. Because truthfully, we can fail once and learn or we can fail twice and not learn [by failing to allow risks to be taken and failures incurred.] All this to say - don't let the fear of failing inhibit your desire to see and be all the things that you dream to be.
