Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Don't

by allinspiration.com

Having a strong will to win is not a bad thing. It can lead you to success, to great achievements and to lofty heights.

The problem comes when you want to win so badly all the time that you cannot accept losing.

Being a bad loser ruins perfectly good relationships. Being a bad loser gives rise to a whole lot of negative emotions like bitterness and anger.

Wanting to keep winning all the time makes you lose sight of what you have already won, what you have already achieved. What you already have proves insufficient and you keep wanting more. You belittle your achievements because you are never satisfied.

There are positives in losing too. You learn from your mistakes. You learn to appreciate the times that you do win. You learn to keep your feet on the ground. And, you give others a chance to win.

In life, there are winners and there are losers. Realize that you don't have to win all the time. In fact, you can't.
