00:00To recap, leaders prepare for success rather than worrying about failure.
00:22When he meditated and planned the reconstruction of the wall of Jerusalem,
00:26Anemias was not worried about what might happen if his plan didn't work.
00:31She had planned and cried, as if what was going to happen was inevitable.
00:37Unfortunately, the human tendency is to always anticipate failure.
00:41and to prioritize all negative and harmful situations that have not yet occurred in order to execute a plan.
00:48Moreover, much misguided traditional wisdom teaches us that failure is gain.
00:57Some examples, let's say, of the wisdom of the world are
01:00Every failure teaches a man something he needed to learn.
01:05Another example is, we make mistakes through ignorance, and we learn from our mistakes.
01:11It's a Roman proverb.
01:12Every misfortune or failure is a lesson.
01:16This is a Turkish proverb.
01:17The truth is that God is not interested in us failing.
01:21Nor should we learn from the mistake made.
01:24In God, plans are complete and perfect.
01:28But to do that we need to understand that
01:31Failure is in the mind of the leader, but not of God.
01:36At no point did Anemías devise alternative plans if the matter did not work out.
01:42He had dedicated time to praying and planning what he actually had to do to develop the project.
01:50I expected God to intervene in the matter at hand and at the perfect time.
01:56To achieve excellent leadership, the leader must depend entirely on God.
02:02Belief in limits produces limited people.
02:07The key is to get rid of those limitations and let yourself be guided by God.
02:14There is no option to repeat God's plans.
02:18If God is directing the project, the leader has full confidence that the execution will have successful repercussions.
02:28There is no possibility of error.
02:32If it happens, rest assured that it was purely a human error.
02:38Whether it was because the leader lost God's guidance or because he wanted to intervene prematurely at his own risk.
02:44When Joshua began his long journey of leadership, God's words were clear and forceful.
02:51Always repeat what the book of God's law says and meditate on it day and night,
02:58so that you always do what he orders.
03:01That way everything you do will turn out well.
03:03I am the one who commands you to be courageous and firm.
03:07Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, your Lord and God, will be with you wherever you go.
03:15Joshua understood that only an intimate, natural, and dependent relationship with God would guarantee absolute triumph in his life of leadership.
03:26The trials and attacks of the enemy will never overcome the power of God.
03:30It is true that while the leader is developing God's plans, there will be opposition, rejection, and attacks.
03:38But the leader's willingness to carry out God's plans makes the trials platforms of experience for maturing and growing.
03:49When Neemiah began to rebuild the wall in Jerusalem, opponents arose.
03:56The enemies may have felt envy or felt that their interests were threatened.
04:03But in any case, they openly declared themselves against Neemiah's purpose.
04:08It says in the word, in the book of Neemiah,
04:11The principle for learning is that leaders focus on achieving success and discard the alternative of failure as part of the plan development.
04:37Remember, the fear of failure exists in your thinking because of the very limited beliefs we have.
04:45If you learn to pray, to trust in God, you will pay more attention to the true knowledge that comes from the heart and which will show you the way to go.
04:57Finally, I invite you to think back.
05:00Have you felt the tendency towards negativity and anticipating failure when starting a new project?
05:06If, when you started planning your project, you considered alternative plans in case the main one doesn't work,
05:16It's because you're not sure that God will be guiding your project.
05:20God has chosen you as a leader to guide others.
05:25The issue is not whether or not you will achieve the proposed goals.
05:28It is about taking the first step and giving space to God our Lord and developing the plans that are in His heart.
05:39Praying, planning, seizing opportunities, and seeking help from others are all part of developing the project.
05:50When we depend on God, He moves and organizes everything so that the goal is achieved.
05:57Thus, success is guaranteed.
06:00William Shakespeare would say,
06:01It's time to listen to your heart and decide to start what you long for.
06:16Pray, trust, decide, and act.
06:20God is waiting for you to take the first step.
06:24There are many walls to rebuild.
06:26Have you already identified what God is asking of you?
06:31I'll close with this quote.
06:33In Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27, it says,
06:38For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father and with his angels,
06:44and then he will reward each one according to what he has done.
06:50Don't let your fear of failure be your downfall.
06:52Be encouraged to discover God's plan for you.
06:57He wants to bless you abundantly, just as He did with our leader Nemias.
07:02See you in the next class.
07:04Keep your spirits up.
07:05God blesses us.
