Good can be the enemy of great.
To step toward your destiny, you have to step away from your security.
Failure is an event, not a person. You are NOT a failure!
We don't have eternal life because we're good, we have it because God is good.
If you want what NORMAL people have, do what normal people DO. If you want what FEW people have, do what few people DO.
God's will is clear about many things. We're to be holy. I like the metaphor that his Word is a lamp to our feet. A lamp may help guide my next one or two steps, but it's not a crystal ball into the future.
