Success and Defeat

Defeat can wear us down, even make us quit. But defeat can make us stronger, and build us up again.

When there are winners and losers, success and defeat are part of the game. No one wants to be defeated, but after a defeat, we must ask ourselves questions. How were we defeated? Were did things go wrong?

Sometimes we might get defeated because of bad luck. Sometimes we might get defeated because of one mistake. Even when we did everything right . . . how rough is that?

But don’t let defeat have the last word. Defeat is just a moment in time, an outcome that lasts just for a bit. There will be always be defeat, but there will be days of success as well.

No wants to be defeated, yet someone has to accept it. In the battle between success and defeat, the tide can always shift.
