How many times are you willing to try again? Recently, I heard the story of Formula 409 and just had to pass this awesome, inspiring story
on.
There are many urban legends about how Formula 409 received its name. Some believe that it was the area code of the
location of where the cleaning product was developed and others believe it was
the birthday of one of the inventor’s wives.
However, that is not true. Based
on the website www.formula409.com, “formulating
the greatest grease-cutting, dirt-destroying, bacteria cutting cleaner on the
planet” is credited to two Detroit scientist that would not give up and knew they
had to keep trying until they had the best formula. They tried 408 times and were not happy with
the formula and FINALLY on the 409th time they were satisfied with
the formula fighting cleaner.
CHALLENGE: How
many times are you willing to keep trying to accomplish a DREAM? I can assure you that there will be down
times and feelings of defeat, but it is all in your tenacity and perseverance
that will determine if you will accomplish it.
DO YOU HAVE
IT IN YOU????
What a great reminder - we have even more reason not to give up because of the supernatural tenacious power of the Holy Spirit working in us! So good!!!!! Thank you for this beautiful reminder which even Pastor Chris reminds us of often!!!
