Hey
there! Welcome back to my blog. Wow! Things in life seem to be happening at
lightning speed. I can’t believe two months have passed since I last shared thoughts on my page. We all know life happens but please pray for me as I make
every effort to stay on task going forward. :-) I will not be defeated. That
brings me to what I want to talk about today. Today, I'd like to talk about
winning.
I bet we can all agree that most
people like to win, right? There’s a lot to be said about what it takes to be a
winner. Likewise, there are also many adages about winning. For example, it’s been said that it’s not
whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. There is definitely some
truth to that. However, it doesn’t matter how you play the game if you don’t
believe you can win. When it comes to winning, the most important thing is the
condition of your mind. You have to believe you can win. Period. If you tell yourself
you can’t, you have already been defeated. You can be bigger and even be more
experienced, but if you are defeated in your mind, size and all the training in
the world doesn’t matter.
For example, In 1 Samuel 17, the
Bible tells us about a teenage boy named David, who went to battle against a
giant Philistine warrior named Goliath. Without a doubt, anyone looking at the
situation would be convinced that all the cards were stacked against David. Nonetheless,
David’s smaller stature and all the threats and insults hurled by the burly Goliath
were no threat to David. In spite of it all, David went into the battle with
much boldness and confidence and ultimately defeated Goliath. It is this type
of confidence that separates winners from losers. Therefore, with all the adages
about winning, I resolve to this one, ninety percent of winning is believing that
you can. An author by the name of Jamerson Frank once said, “Our greatest
battles are with our own minds.”
Until next time, I hope you have been encouraged, empowered, enriched and enlightened.
Peace and blessings,
Cherlisa
I like. Keep going...
