Lose But Win!

Bill Gates says success is a lousy teacher, it teaches successful people to think they can’t fail. I have been a victim of this thinking. I never at a point in my life saw anything like failure so I grew up thinking failure is abstract and those who fail are those who have nothing to live for.

Your present circumstances shouldn’t define your future. You may not be where you want to go but you shouldn’t stop. Why am I not stopping? Because this is not what I dreamed of, this is not what I want to do so I will keep doing it.

It is never the end until you give up. There is hope. Live your purpose. Don’t be stopped. I am not there yet but I know where I am going so I may lose a few times on the way but I am still alive and it’s not over until I win.

“Get knocked down but don’t get knocked out”. Get back up and keep fighting. Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising up anytime we fall. Its only makes the story interesting to tell, to motivate others and to live my purpose.

Don’t let the temporal situation define your future. Be willing to fail if you want to win, it’s hard, it difficult, it’s frustrating but it’s worth it. Easy is not an option.

I believe in Bible principles and even in the Bible, it says ….a righteous man shall fall seven times but he shall rise again”

How do you understand this? Read carefully, it says a “righteous” man, not a sinner or someone who doesn’t attend church as you do as a Christian. So, you think those who fail are sinners and because they don’t worship God the way you think they should? No, failure is part of winning. Learn from your failures.

Am not discouraged because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward-Thomas Alva Edison.

The challenge of growth is when you get knocked down and you get back up. It’s not easy and if it was easy everyone will be doing. You think I don’t know is not everybody I get my message across who will act on it? I have had others reject it and laugh it off but I have had so many other write back to me telling me how helpful it has been to them.

The fact that you are still here, you are still alive means you have to give it another shot.

When you fail, learn from it. When you fail, learn from it. I repeat for the third time; when you fail, learn from it. Failure is therefore a point where you look at what you did wrong and forge ahead. This is not the point where you beat yourself and conclude you are a failure. Don’t pack your bags yet. Don’t throw in the towel, use it to wipe the sweats.

Failure is an opportunity to begin again and this time more intelligently – Henry Ford

Never see failure as the end. When you fail, learn from and move on. Failure is part of winning. When you fall, rise. We fall in order to rise. Even when you fall, fall forward and roll on. We never know how many times the people we admire failed so we think winners never fail.

We don’t see climbers when they are struggling to climb the mountain, we only see them at the top all smiling and taking pictures. We never see usian Bolt train and fail to beat his time, we only see him on the big screens at the Olympics so we never pause to think how many times he tried.

After being cut from his high school basketball team, he went home, locked himself in his room and cried.

MICHAEL JORDAN- 6 times NBA champion, 5 times NBA MVP and 4 time NBA all-star.

You can lose, there is nothing wrong with failing at some point but don’t let it define you, lose but win!

Maybe not immediately

But definitely !
