Motivational Power Quote

You're Not Defeated

"As long as a person doesn't admit he defeated,

he is not defeated - he's just a little behind,

and isn't through fighting."

Darrell Royal, football coach

    

As I see it. . . . . . . .

You're not defeated  

There will be times in life that things will not be going the way we would like them to be going and we have fallen behind.  

Falling behind is not a defeat it just means that we are going to have to stay focused on our objectives and work harder to catch up to achieve them.  

There is a big difference between fallen behind and a defeat.  

Unless you lead every lap of a race, score the first run or point of a game at some point you are behind and have to catch up. In many cases it's the person that runs the faster last lap that wins the race or the team the plays the best in the last two minutes of the game that wins.  

We are never defeated until we give up. The person or the team that hangs on and continues to play their best is the team or person that endures and wins. 

Your not defeated . . . . until you give up and giving up is a choice. When things look dark and your behind dig deep down into your motivation and keep going.

It's all a matter of prospective and your own definition of "defeted". More than that....sometimes when life does not go the way we want it to go, it may be a huge blessing. God works different ways and has a much better plan for us than our own. All the best to you Lou!

I think if you are learning from your experiences there is no defeat, but if you aren't getting anything from them then that is a real loss

Lou- The Texas Aggies have a saying regarding football- they hare outscored but never defeated.

Football coaches have so many great quotes... you only "lose" if you give up...
