On A Personal Note

My son PJ got married recently, his wife, has a baby from a previous relationship, cutest little girl you can imagine and I came to the realization that this one action on his part has changed me drastically. How? Well now all of a sudden I am a Father-In-Law and a Grandfather. The biggest shock came however when I realised that now I go to bed with a "Granny" Talk about a Passion Killer moment.

There is a well known Personal Development question that asks. "When last did you do something for the first time/" This was a wonderful opportunity to put this to the test and I went to bed with a Granny. (This is a family show so the rest, to protect our more sensitive readers, is censored, but I will say that being a Granny hasn't changed her at all. :))

Today's message

28th June 2010

I felt that this message would be appropriate for the current situation (I can't mention the event as I might be accused of "Ambush Marketing" :)) However when you have more than one person vying for 1 prize then what we must realise that only 1 person can get the prize. Sadly in today's competitive world we bestow the title of "winner" on the one who gets the prize and the label of "loser" on those who did not.

Well since there will always be more "losers" than winners I think that it  important to:-

Learn to be a good loser.

There is constant pressure to achieve, to win, to be first, and this takes the fun out of life. Very few people "play" for the fun of it any more. It is always a competition. I even know of children as young as four who are involved in serious competition.

Well, if you are going to be involved in all this constant competition then the first thing that you had better learn is to be a good loser.

"A good loser are you nuts. Who wants to be a good loser. I want to win". Well, of course you do, but you can't win every time, unless of-course there is no-one else in the race, or you are in the wrong race.

A "good loser" accepts "loss" as a challenge, a temporary setback.

A "good loser" accepts defeat but is not destroyed.

A "good loser" doesn't complain or justify, makes no excuses.

A "good loser" reaffirms goals and reviews performance to identify areas for improvement.

A "good loser" tries again, building on success and building up weaknesses.

A "good loser" realises that you can't always be first, but that you can always improve.

A "good loser" "fails forward" accepts that what most people call failure is merely getting a result that you did not expect or want.

A "good loser" realises that there is great value in the attempt, for without the attempt there can be no success.

A "good loser" knows that it is only those who "must" win who feel as if they have "lost".

A "good loser" does not focus on winning but rather on always doing the best that can be done.

A "good loser" knows that you have only lost if you did not do your best.

The secret of a happy and successful life is to "Learn to be a good loser"

Remember

That it is always too late to go back and make a new start but

it is never too late to make a start toward a new ending.

That you, and you alone, are the ruler of your life. Rule wisely.

It is up to you to choose who you want to be then to behave yourself into that role.

{-------------------------------}

Keep on growing. Be true to the you that you want to be.

Have a great day and make memories you can be proud of.

With love light and blessings
