Trying Leads To Failure

August 4, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Trying leads to failure” ~ Jessica Slaughter (Ms. J., Ms. Jessica, Miss J, or Miss Jessica)

If you look up the word failure in the dictionary, you won’t find Jessica Slaughter’s name. This lady is one of the most incredible women you will ever meet. There was a time when this woman weighed over 300lbs, but today she weighs only 120lbs. The secret to her success is that she took “try” out of her vocabulary; for Ms. Jessica, trying leads to failure. To persevere, you must commit to taking the proper actions, one day at a time, and if you persist, you will come out the other side victorious. Ms. J became a raw vegan and committed to exercising seven days a week by walking back and forth in her one-bedroom apartment in St. Louis, Missouri. If Ms. Jessica can overcome her demons, then so can we.

Check out these videos of Jessica Slaughter featured on KSDK in St. Louis, MO, Fox 2 in St. Louis, MO, and the Steve Harvey Show.

Friends, we are without excuse. We all need to quit trying and get committed.

I have had the privilege of being personal friends with Jessica Slaughter for many years and see her regularly.

Here is a pic of Jessica and me back in the Spring of 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ms. J’s favorite prayer.

My Creator, I am now willing that You should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do Your bidding. Amen.
