For those of you that feel like failures

This is a great quote that was sent to me.

"its not the critic that counts not the man/woman who points out how the strong man/woman stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better, the credit belongs to the man/woman in the arena whos face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends him/herself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at worse if he/she fails at least fails while dareing greatly. so that his/her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who never have known neither victory or defeat." - teddy roosevelt

Don't listen to the critics, they tend not to take risks or be pioneers. My advice, as someone who has failed spectacularly and often, is....feel the fear and do it anyway. Being sucessful in God's eyes is having the courage and faith to just go for what you think HE is calling YOU to.
