Wins and losses

You win some and you lose some. Both are valuable.

Victories and achievements bring their rewards, yet they also can bring complacency. While losses and disappointments are painful, their pain can teach you and engender great determination.

Difficult times give you the opportunity to transform weakness into strength. Good times provide the opportunity to transform strength into treasure.

Sometimes your troubles are due mainly to your own choices, and other times those troubles come in spite of your best efforts. Sometimes your good fortune is mostly your own doing, and sometimes you just encounter a streak of good luck.

Whatever the case, be thankful for the opportunity to make the best of it. With a steady purpose, move forward from wherever you find yourself.

The pains and the pleasures, the wins and losses, all add substance and value to your life. Embrace each season as it comes, and find true goodness in it all.
