As I prepare for the annual convention, I am thinking of the many times I gave up when I did not get immediate gratification. It is a but discouraging. I ran across this quote and it really struck a chord.
Losers quit… when they fail.
Winners fail… until they succeed!
Everyday we have events, circumstances or emotional upheavals. We can choose to give up. It is an option. But we could also take the high road and keep pushing through the slow, discouraging, hard, uncomfortable times.
I’m not throwing stones here. I’ll be honest, I have too often chosen the easy path and regretted it. As a result, I’d view myself as a failure. I see now how giving up holds me back from growing as a person.
On the other hand, getting up when knocked down builds perserverance, character, and integrity. That is the winners road I want to be on!
So I put my time and energy into thinking of the many events I did successfully navigate. I am encouraged to think of the many wins I’ve had over the years.
Each of us has our own mountains to climb. I encourage you to use your time, talents, and treasure to invest in yourself. Don’t give up! You will not regret it!
