Losing

We all want to win. There isn't one of us that has a drive to purposely lose. We're all wired for success and first place. We all feel strong standing tall on the podium labeled "First Place". But the deal is life is not about winning. This isn't a race, or a contest, or a game like Monopoly or Life. This is breathing, growing, and loving. That's what this is. So it's not about being the best, or the one with the most pride or accomplishments. This comes down to being humble. Being the one that can get down on your knees and admit your wrongs and apologize. It's about being the one that can give up everything at the end of the day. It's about accepting defeat, recognizing it, and embracing it. That's what life is. It's not a race, it's not about coming in first. It's about enjoying the time we have here and appreciating what we are given. It's about being able to let go of everything and embracing the one thing that really matters. And when ever you figure that one out, understand that sometimes it's better to lose, you can really learn to value. And that's when life is best lived.
