You Win Some, You Lose Some

You Win Some, You Lose Some

The battle in life is a long-drawn affair for us all, what with the relentless challenge upon challenges thrown at us,, day after day.  Yet, let's admit it, there are SUNNY MOMENTS in each day, or most days, which cause us to smile and feel blessed.   Yes,You Win Some, You Lose Some.  As we learned through all kinds of experiences in life, as LIFE is like rolling UP and DOWN all kinds of hills and mountains, we got to be TEACHABLE because the terrains vary and differ📗📘📙

And I've seen it with my naked eyes HOW some people would WIN, some would LOSE and bounce back from such LOSSES and some WHO are never able to recover at all.  WHAT's the difference then?  I read it right from respected American author John Maxwell that the difference lies in HUMILITY.  You might get confused, WHAT is it in HUMILITY that it becomes the factor WHEN one ends up to swim OR sink💎💎💎

WHAT HUMILITY does for you, it gives you perspective.  HUMILITY does NOT mean that you think less of you.  BUT instead, it means you think of yourself less.  And it will allow you to look at the bigger picture.  And besides, as HUMILITY enables you to admit a mistake, it is from there WHERE you can learn and grow.  And it allows you then to let go of perfectionism💧💧💧

So, WHAT explains why for some to LOSE [or FAIL], yet they DON'T struggle to recover back from that LOSE?  Experts have a curt reply.  WHEN we accept that life is HARD, we will grow with life itself.  This explains why successful people DON'T shy away from difficulties.  Instead, they learn to face them and move ahead in spite of those difficulties❎❎❎

Our takeaway?  Let's consider this perspective wherein instead of fearing difficulties, we welcome it as a TEST of character and use them to rise to the occasion.  I remember this hard-punching one-liner: "EITHER YOU DEAL WITH WHAT IS REALITY OR YOU CAN BE SURE THAT THE REALITY IS GOING TO DEAL WITH YOU".  In brief, facing reality and accepting the problem will NOT conquer it BUT it is the very first step to overcoming it.  And experts do encourage us to realistically rate the performance independently of WHETHER you WIN or LOSE.  And life is definitely harder for those WHO stop growing and learning.  So, whether we WIN SOME or LOSE SOME, let's take both as part of our journey!!!
