I am presently reading a book by Edwin McManus, called "Soul Cravings". It took me a little while to get into it, but the more I read the more intrigued I became with the book. At one point McManus talks about failure and how it can paralyzes us. If all we see in the future is failure we will be frozen in position and never grow, accomplish anything, or lead anyone else to do so. However, if we look at the future with hope and see possibilities it will give us the freedom to accomplish and achieve those goals. There have been times when I felt paralyzed, but it came because of my own poor vision. When I see possibilities I not only sense freedom, but have energy to accomplish those visions.
