Let Me Be A Loser!
That’s right, a loser.
You wouldn’t expect anyone to say that, would you?
Don’t worry it’s not a cry for help. It’s not a cry to save me. In truth, let me lose. Let me sink, let me struggle, let me despairs because that is HOW I GROW.
The covid crisis has made a lot of people losers, most not of their own doing and most can’t handle losing.
Most people are losing their shit.
But let me tell you this was a walk in the park for me.
No I didn’t wish for it, and yes I lost my shit for a month or so.
But I have lost so many times in the past (context, my career and personal life) that I adjusted very quickly to the pandemic
Losing is a badge of honour for me. It’s my scars. It’s my shield.
I know the word rejection. I know when a project fails and it felt disheartened and you wallow in your own despair thinking the world is going to cave in and you’re going to crumble…but yet you don’t.
But let me tell you. For every time you lose, you will always take away a win.
A Win?
Yes a Win.
Look you define what losing is ok. You and you only. In the business world, we have been told what winning is. Money, followers, property portfolio, yadda yadda yadda, YAWN!!!
But have you ever stopped to think, what is my Win?
In some cases being in the game is winning for some.
Making that one call is a win
Getting one client is a win.
Yet you have been told that you have to 10X that shit and if you don’t you are a bum, a loser.
You have to control what losing is to you. Not anyone else, YOU.
Losing is the big brother of winning.
The experience you take from losing is EXCEPTIONAL that you cannot quantify. No textbook, webinars or seminar can ever explain the intuition you will build from that loss.
Your know-how when next time you come around to complete that project or task and you win (based on your criteria of what winning that is) will be based on the loss of last time.
So when you start a new project (personal or Work) pray that you ask for a loss.
I don’t mean the stupid thing of putting all money in one project or you just stop your cashflow and become an artist in the wood type of thing, what I am asking you to do is wear losing as a badge of honour, don’t be afraid of it because if you are then you will never truly find your true potential.
