Failure Is Not An Excuse To Stop

A few weeks ago I had the idea to start a YouTube Shorts series called, “Workouts and Walkthroughs”.

On January 9th, I dropped this first video:

The goal was to walkthrough an entire workout in less than 3 minutes.

As I’m building The John 5 Movement, I’m always trying to get better with each video so here I was thinking that this series was going to be a hit.

Instead, it totally flopped.

A mere 42 people watched it.

Since most of my videos have been hitting 500+ views, I’d consider this a failure.

At first, I was disappointed but then I reminded myself that one failure is not an excuse to give up on the mission God has for your life.

How many times do we make one mistake or experience one failure that makes us question everything?

A verse to remember is Isaiah 43:2 which states,

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”

Let’s remember that failure is part of our journey and not to be consumed by it.

God gave each of us a specific mission to complete while on this earth.

Let’s keep getting better.

Let’s keep going.

If you are seeking coaching to help you figure out your God given mission or to create an at home workout plan that you can sustain, let’s chat 1:1 to work together. 💪

P.S. I’d appreciate if you would watch the first W&W video and let me know why you think it flopped.
