You Win By Losing

It dawned on me the other day that there are multiple ways to look at winning and losing but the the most crippling type of win is the win to lose scenario.

Believe it or not there are people who find righteousness in losing at life. They come up with reasons, stories and excuses that support their position and they feed off of the sympathy and concern for their well being from others.

When your looking from the bottom up it can at times seem very disheartening to find the inner strength to move up the mountain. Has this ever happened to you?

You can tell rather quickly the type of person you are by how you react in these situations. You either put your creative thinking cap on or you put on you victim suit.

When the victim suit goes on everybody knows. You gripe and complain about the situation you have, through choices of your choosing and decisions of your making, put yourself there but are generally not prepared to accept this as a rule.

This type of person will blame others and duck responsibility and invariably find fault in every thing but themselves. This is a sure-fire recipe for unhappiness and misfortune. Do you know anybody like this... perhaps intimately?

Don't sweat it, everybody saw it and accepted you anyway (or not), but what you may have noticed is the opportunity for advancement became less and less, friends maybe got a little more distant and unfortunate events seemed to be a more-often-than-not occurrence.

So what does this all mean? Well, it means the people who complain that their lives are getting worse and worse, really are experiencing their lives getting worse and worse.

Here's something else to keep in mind: What you think about, you bring about, and if you want your life to improve then by golly you need to improve. Take responsibility, stand in the breach of desire and take what is yours. Your life was never meant to be a struggle. Life is not a parking lot, it is a highway, now go drive!
