How to Win...

"The world aint all sunshine and rainbows.
It is a very mean and nasty place.
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life.
BUT,
It aint about how hard you hit.
It is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,
how much you can take and keep moving forward.
That is how WINNING is done."

 When I came across this quote, I was really inspired. It happens more often than not that life kicks us and beats us to the point where we are unable to get up. At some point in everyone's life, they will feel what it is like to hit rock bottom. It is a dark scary place that seems as if there is no ladder to get out. Life is cruel and tends to serve the notion "every man for himself" and sometimes, you may be nice to people but get run over in doing so. Sometimes, you may take a risk and have to suffer its consequences rather than its rewards. Sometimes, you lose friendships or relationships that were your crutches in coping with life.
Whatever the case, it happens.

But, the truth of it, is that only remarkable stories exist from people who rose from those dark places.

"Rock bottom and rebuilding your life"

People who were able to climb out of their hole and try again are the most successful. Not only are they the most successful but they know the meaning of success and failure making them grateful for where they are.
They say that being grateful for something is the most powerful energy you can send out to the universe.
The strength it takes to pick yourself up when the world shows you its cruelty is what winning is all about.

So if you are currently going through this, know that it does not last forever and that if you just keep moving forward then you are a winner. By just having the strength and courage to TRY again is what makes people great.

"Keep moving forward"

"It's only after you have lost everything that you
are FREE to do anything"
