A Real Loser

No one likes to lose. Winners, especially,  do not like to lose. However, not winning is not the same thing as losing.

Not winning is not the same as losing.

1. You are only a real loser if you do not learn from your loss.
2. You are only a real loser if you do not revel in the fact that you still have more room to grow in your chosen endeavor. 
3. You are only a real loser if you do not want to learn from the winners.
4. You are only a real loser if you do not question what your goals are and how hard you want to work to achieve them.
5. You are only a real loser if you beat yourself up.
6. You are only a real loser if you live in the loss rather than living in the present.
7. You are only a real loser if you don’t realize that every winner has lost at one time. That’s how they get better.
8. You are only a real loser if you don’t realize that there will always be someone better than you at some point in your life.
9. You are only a real loser if you do not understand that you are not the loss. You are perfect. Sometimes, God has something he wants you to learn. 
10. You are only a real loser if you do not brush yourself off and try again.

              Try again.
