Losing is the key to success. Losing is where real achievement is born! When you win a contract, or a tournament or a prize you can sit on your laurels and soak up the victory. Endless early mornings or long candle burning nights have finally beared fruit. The Olympic medal is yours and it’s time to wear it with pride. True, all true, but let’s flip elsewhere to the loser’s camp.
If you beat 10 companies to that multi-million pound contract or 127 others to the Wimbledon title most will be disappointed and think it wasn’t meant to be and lick their wounds. Not so the champions in waiting, the confidents in study or the best observing how they can be just that. Real winners are learning from the “loss” seeing it as a free lesson on how to succeed. While you party they partake of info and feedback. They amend and improve. They update and evolve. They live and learn living tomorrow today. They are you, NOW!!!
So when you take the field for the big final, put together your project proposal or simply enter a local talent competition remember that winning means losing. Winning means understanding where and how to win. Winning means it may not be today but it will be some day. Big bucks first come from big sucks. Winning means losing the thought that it’s only now that matters. Winning means that you never lose sight of bettering yourself. So you see you can never lose. So start winning today and then tomorrow…………I’m at a loss to say!!
