Failure
Failure is so much easier to obtain than success. It's easier to give up when times get hard. Success only comes to those who work. The three prior sentences are said all the time when people talk about sports or homework. I think it applies to everything you do in life. Even in the smallest things you do, you can decide to fail and give up, or to continue on, even when you either don't want to, or it gets harder. An example is when you decide you want to wake up early. Today I decided I was going to wake up at 7:30 AM so my morning and day would feel longer and I could get more done. In the end, I gave up and failed because I turned off my alarm and slept in till 9 AM. I feel bad because I didn't succeed in defeating my body;s want to sleep more. My body had already gotten the healthy 8 hours of sleep, but it wanted more and I was not strong enough to defeat the overpowering want to sleep in. Thanks to this example, you can see that life has noe success and failure choices then most people think. It's like in the Bible where it says that if you do well in the small things, God will give you more responsibility in big things as well. I hope that now you realize that you need to have a longing to succeed in everything you do, because if you choose to fail in the small things constantly, you will end up being inclined to want to fail in the big choices too.

It's very true. It never ceases to amaze me how many times we can fail at something... Like reading your Bible. But we just gotta keep trying, and go for the big goal of heaven =)
