I have a theory. You know that time when you are doing something and you're feeling on top of your game, and then all of a sudden something goes wrong and you end up letting it slip from under you? Your soul is crushed, your heart sinks, and you replay what happened in your mind until you are literally swimming in all the thoughts of "could have done". It eats at you until there is a big part of you that says that you "can't do it", that you should just give up now, and that "it isn't worth it".
Well, my friend, I've decided. For me I believe that God puts these trials in our life to show us just how great we are, that we aren't perfect and we don't need to be. We are all here on this earth to learn and progress so that we will be able to better serve in the Lord's kingdom, and when we think that we know it all we don't see it fit to progress. No learning, no progression, no service. And this applies to everything from sports to homework, to relationships and even sewing (Ha, long story. :P ). So rather than beating yourselves up for not being perfect, just know that the one who is has a different plan for you, because maybe you weren't mean to accomplish this task, now.
I was thinking about this today and what I came to was that when we fail it is just another change to become better, and we shouldn't take it as a burden. I mean, it might be hard to look at it in a positive way, but there will most likely be a time in the future when you have learned and progressed and are ready to have the blessings of accomplishment. So don't give up, there is a time when you will thank yourself for keeping strong, and maybe one day you'll get what I'm saying.
