5 years from now, nobody will care how many times you failed, especially if you eventually make it to where you intended to go. Do not allow failure to stop you from doing what you were called to do. You may not get the first promotion, but keep applying. You may not pass the first test to get into grad school, but keep taking it. You may not qualify for the first house, but keep trying. You may not make the first team, but keep trying out. You may not graduate on time, but if you feel God has called you, keep going. Failure is part of your learning process. You're learning perseverance and patience. You may cry in the process, but it doesn't mean that God is not with you, He's just preparing you. You're not dumb, you'll just just be more mentally tough than the other people once you've made it. God bless!
