Some Quotes from Mike Ross on the Fear of Failure from the Christ Covenant Men's Retreat 2010
"You can only become what God has gifted you to be"
"Lost Boys [men today] can't handle failure"
"The most fearful sex is male because we believe that failure is not manly"
"Men will fail and it is often better for us that we fail"
"If you haven't failed, you probably are not a man."
These are various quotes that I have come across or read or heard that have impacted my life or inspired me in some way. Please note that I do not endorse or support everything that is quoted (as a few quotes are secular, or are missing context, or are just unsound biblically/theologically), but they all have provoked some thought or impacted me in some way! Hope you enjoy!
