WHY DO WE ENCOUNTER DEFEAT AND HOW TO DEFEAT OUR DEFEAT

Defeat is an integral part of  the success journey. 


He who has become successful today has had a romance with defeat yesterday. 




No success story is complete without a touch of defeat. Defeat is an ingredient needed for the success story to be complete. 


Defeat on a serious note is never sweet, it leaves a sour taste on your lips. Defeat never accompanies with it a good feeling. No one is happy when he faces defeat. It can be paralysing that if not faced with a strong resolve, has the potency of crippling your every dream and aspirations.


WHY DEFEAT?

Since it is an established fact that defeat has a crippling effect on my dreams why am I always faced with defeat?


Defeat is an opportunity to learn, test your resolve and the solidity of your plans and dreams for life. Defeat, is like the rain that falls on a just completed building. Sweet thing about defeat is that it comes to everyone irrespective of your background. It is not selective. 

Defeat is life's own way of shaking you.

When the rain beats the house, if the foundation was made sure it will stand else we would wake up to a collapsed structure the next day.


Want to learn to defeat your defeat? Let's learn!



1. ARISE FROM YOUR DEFEAT

Yes, you've been beaten down, battered, shattered and everything but why sit at the aisle of defeat and lose the years ahead of you?  Treat this defeat as a failed school assignment, that teaches you a lesson. Arise and shake yourself off the defeat, it's trauma and effect.


It is normal to cry but do not sit back too long, get up!



2. RECOGNIZE THE DEFEAT PATTERN

Before anything gets bad there were mistakes made, signals ignored etc. These series of events are called a sequence or pattern.

Defeat is not a one day thing, it had begun years, weeks or days ago; a blind eye was just turned toward it.

Trace back to the beginnings (where and how it all started) will help in defeating defeat. (A journal will help you with this)




3. BE GRATEFUL FOR THE LESSONS

Every defeat is a lesson leading to a process. Take few minutes to be grateful that you are on your way to something that can change your life and world. See every defeat as an opportunity and be grateful for it.

BLEEDING OF THE MIND

  The worst form of injury to have is an internal bleeding. When someone has a fall, after checking for a broken bone or ruptured body part, doctors check for internal bleeding because it's as deadly as any deadly injury you can think of. Doctors being wary of the implications of an internal bleeding recommend multiple scans to be sure there is none. Bleeding  of the mind does not just occur, it is triggered by  the traumatic experiences you've  had in life, the harsh events that you've been subjected to, you have had damaged mental vessels, disfigured  thinking patterns, broken emotional lines; vessels that have become ruptured due to the twist and turn of life thereby leaving you with heavy bleeding inside. This bleeding of the mind is most times caused by betrayal, rejection, setups, repeated  failures and all that. As opposed to surface bleeding, bleeding of the mind is not visible. Most times even the victim is not aware of it. Signs that you are exper...
