From "expect" via podcast by Erwin McManus

There are some of us who are like the walking dead because when we wake up in the morning there is not something compelling, something that demands our lives, something that demands our existence.

The difference between those who overcome failure and those are overcome by failure:
Those overcome by failure take failure personally, think it is pervasive and view it as permanent. Those who overcome failure do not take it personally, do not think is is pervasive and do not view it as permanent. From Learned Optimism, Martin Seligman.

35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him." 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

Hebrews 10:35-39
