Winning is not always about achieving success. Often, it’s about understanding how failure is a stepping stone on the path to success. When you feel like you’re losing, consider it pure joy.
When you aren’t seeing the results you desire or feel like you deserve, it can be easy to feel defeated and lose sight of the bigger picture. But intuitively, you know that every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow.

Now, that doesn’t make it easier to just pick up where you fell off. You’re human. There might be a little wallowing or pity party happening.
But what if you could look at your failure from a joyful perspective? What if you could see the bigger picture? What if you could present yourself in a manner that allows you to be in the moment, but not be cemented in the moment?
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” ~ James 1:2-4
The K.I.S.S. ~ Persevere to finish the work!
- RENEW your mind. One of the most powerful ways to win when all you do is lose is to renew your mind. You’ve gotta shift your perspective and look at failure in a different light. Instead of viewing it as a setback, see it as a comeback, an opportunity to learn and improve. Those are teachable moments. When you’re open to new ideas and ways of thinking, you’ll be able to see opportunities that you may have missed before or glanced over. “Even a closed door can be an open door.” ~ Kristianne Wargo You “don’t want to conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)”
- READY to be UNSETTLED. Comfort is for the weak at heart. Instead, look forward to the unknown and embrace the adventure of pioneering your day in a way that is well-lived. When you’re comfortable, you’re not pushing yourself to be your best. But when you’re challenged and uncomfortable, you’re forced to step out of your comfort zone and push yourself to be better. “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” ~ Hebrews 11:8
- CREATE your now. You want to have a thorough strategy and plan in place. Identifying your goals and create a plan to achieve them. And don’t forget to exhaust your “I’m not good enough” silent plea and ready your mind to yell, “the best is yet to come.” When you have a clear plan and a positive attitude, you’ll be able to see that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct your paths.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
Don’t fall short because of your failures. Let your failures create your now in leading you to do what God created you to do. Consider it pure joy!
PRAYER: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
