First of all let's define defeat.
Defeat: According to Cambridge dictionaries, defeat is the act of losing against someone in a fight or a competition, or when someone or something is made to fail.
We are humans, defeat is one thing in life that is bound to happen in some circumstances. But what determines our stand in life is what happens after defeat.
Two essential things happens after defeat and it is our choice to chose either of them. But we must choose.
The question is which do you stick to?
Is it Letting your defeat defeat you
Or
Defeating your defeat.
I know now you want to live your life, But my Ernest advice is that you stick to the second one.
Everyone you see today who are top notch in whatever they do failed before. But what really made them who they are was what they sticked to after defeat.
"Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat" ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
"As long as you are Alive no defeat is a final defeat" ~Festus Osas Ighalo
"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans and set sail once more towards conveyed goal" ~ Napoleon Hill
There is very little distance between success and failure. Sometimes that distance is no more than "one last try". Understand that suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, and often is through hardship that great people are born.
There is a say that people don't realize how much close they are to success before they give up.
"Focus 90% of your time on solutions and only 10% of your time on problems" ~ D'Angelo
Make the best of every defeat. Make a note of lessons learn, people met, advice taken. Maybe with time you'll realize that the long road that took you to the solution was more beneficial than any shortcut you would have taken because the long road taught you a lot.
"Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated, he's finished when he quits" ~ Richard M. Nixon
During your life, you might experience a devastating defeat. But if you decide to fight back you will manage to get up on your feet once again and you will become successful. On the other hand, if you decide to give up, then you will end up like most of the broken people out there
The Choice Is Yours.
