Losing

Losing sucks, it hurts and its not fun at all.

However, thats why we compete right, to win. Winning is fun, its fulfilling and gives a sense of accomplishment for hard work. Problem is that we can not all be the winner, in the game there has to be losers.

Your character isn't about how good you are on your best days, but rather how you choose to act on your worst. That one can be a little tough to swallow. Obviously winning is a lot easier and we don't have to worry about as much about our conduct as we tend to be happy and positive. Keeping ones composure after loss though is different. Learning to keep your head high, congratulate the winner and not make excuses takes one with strong and character. Those are the greats, the ones that are forever remembered and the ones that everyone else want on their team. I want to be one of those people.

I won't admit to losing well, or trying to make better of a bad situation. However, there must come a time when you accept peoples good wishes, or positive attitudes toward your trials. If you continue to have negative attitudes and thoughts people are going to stop, stop caring, stop encouraging and stop supporting. E

Everyone can learn something from losing, but its up to each individual if they are going to accept the failure and turn it into something positive. Those that are capable of this tend to become more successful and will see a win from lessons learned and continuing to work hard toward whatever the goal.

Just BELIEVE, in the goal in the dream but mostly in yourself!
