Small Business Leadership: Defeat is Temporary

Posted by Marvin LeBlanc

PICTURE WITH ME 2 men in a Brutal Fist Fight
1 Man Down- almost laying Motionless

I now ask u - IS THE FIGHT OVER?
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR REPLY?

ANSWER:  It's only over if the man on the ground refuses to GET UP!

Marvelous people.  Memorize this -  DEFEAT IS A TEMPORARY CONDITION!

The definition of defeat is the failure to win.  If we allow defeat to keep us down in life we are depriving ourselves of the opportunity to rise above adversity.  Life is full of challenges, each and every day you have battles.  The only time a fight is really over is when the opponent doesn't get up. Think about boxing, when one of the boxers is down, hurting, bleeding and suffering the match is not over unless he refuses to get back up.

The same goes for you in business and in life.  As long as you keep getting up, day after day, you are winning the battle.  Are some battles harder to overcome and get up from?  Of course but the more you practice, the more you make persistency a permanent mind-set the more successful you will beleadership and change photo

Marvelous people remember this: Defeat is temporary, persistency should be permanent!

Possessing PERSISTENCY IS what needs to be Permanent. In your Being.

REMEMBER- No one can follow you if you continue to lay down!
