In the search for success, most people often find themselves facing challenges and even failures in more ways than they care to admit. The path to achieving goals and attaining success is often riddled with obstacles that test a person’s faith and their commitment to seeing it through.
What most people fail to realize is that we can’t do it alone and we aren’t meant to.
Proverbs 15:22 says, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers, they succeed.”
This is pretty sage advice.
