Think About It
We give our hopes freely to sports teams. They may be teams in professional leagues, college teams, or national teams. We experience moments of euphoria when they win and moments of depression when they lose. We take losses personal. Players and coaches of winning teams are praised and players and coaches of losing teams are criticized. One thing I am certain, no player or coach wakes up thinking, “I want to lose this game/match.” They wake up filled with excitement for the competition. The competition is a good assessment of which team is the better team at a certain moment. Each morning when we enter our day normal people don’t set a goal of making the day the worse day ever. Every normal person wants a good day. As we work ourselves through the day we compete with the challenges that come our way. How we handle the challenges is our measure for the moment. When we fail, we only fail in that moment. If we get up and start over, learn our lessons, we may discover that we are victorious over our next challenge.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Keep Moving Forward
One can fail, rise, and try again and again. If one gives up, the door closes, the shades drawn. and the lights are turned off. Failure offers a lesson, learn the lesson, apply the lesson and move on. Keep moving forward. Don’t waste a moment looking back. Today is what you have, but tomorrow is jam packed with promise.
Today’s Power Thought ~ There’s Always a Way
If you accept as a truth “there’s always a way,” a failure is only a slight detour in the road. You know if you keep working at your challenge, you’ll find a way. It’s inevitable. Yes, there’s always a way. Keep searching.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Dare to Fail
If you’re not failing every once in a while, you’re not risking. If you’re not risking, the dream remains elusive. Today, dare to fail, dare to try, dare to tray again and again. You’ll discover your dream is within your grasp.
Today’s Power Thought ~ It’s Your Life
Ever been told you were foolish to try and you tried it anyway? Good for you. Take the chance, live your life, learn from failure, and keep on grinding.
Today’s Inspiration ~ Never Quit, Never Give Up
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Today’s Quote: Bounce Back, You’ve Got a Lot Left
