The Test

I figured out that I am being tested. No matter how well I do on the next test, I can not label me as a failure. Tests are just that. A test to show your competent on some level that you may or may not use what your were actually being quizzed about. The key to a test is not failure, it’s the drive to keep pushing your self and showing your kids you can do it. Michael Jordan said in one of my favorite commercials. “I’ve take taken over 9 thousand shots and missed. Ive lost over 300 games in my career. I was trusted over 26 times to take the game wining shot and missed. Ive failed over and over again and this is why I succeed.” This is important to me because I think he is the pinnacle of failure and success. He was told he could even play the game of basket ball and cut from his team in high school, we all know how that story turned out. He went to work and build up the confidence to become who he is. I am on that same level of trying to get to a place I have never been. “George Benson who wrote and sang the “Greatest Love of All,” that was written for Muhammad Ali. He sang, “If I shall fail or I succeed, at least I can live with dignity.” That is so profound for me in my time of question. What I found out is that nothing will be question if I don’t allow it to be. It all started when I said I will not quit nor will I give the satisfaction to someone who says, “He didn’t do this or that. I’ve done more and been through more than most people. My life was built around failure, yet God saw fit to let me go through my trials and tribulation to be a walking testimony for someone. Fear can not inhibit. I will try to me ever expectation of me. If not my character will not be question and I will always have another day to prove my critics wrong. I am a child of God and I know that’s where it starts and if those who don’t believe there is a plan for me, just Google my name “Cho Woods” and it will tell you I have already made my mark.
