It's so easy to quit

The Ultimat Gift by jim stovall. i had an opportunity to watch a partial interview on cbn this morning about jim stovall who was a man who lost his sight and simply didn't want to live again. He said something very profound "when the pain of not trying becomes large than the fear of failure then you move." He relegated himself to one room in his home never to come out again because he felt he had no contribution to offer. one day out of boredom he decided to watch a movie that he had seen many times before (When he had sight) and just listen. he got to a part in the movie that had no dialogue but only the sound of gunshots and a speeding car taking off after the shots. he became so frustrated that although he had seen this movie many time before he could not envision this particular seen. as a result of this frustrating moment he found his purpose. what appeared as tragedy has
become truimp for over 13 million sight impaired individuals. he converted his frustration.
