Winning for me means learning a lesson from every outcome.

Winning for me means learning a lesson from every outcome.

I am victorious in everything I set out to do because I strive to learn a lesson from every outcome. I am content with the reality that winning is more about what I am able to take away from a race than actually crossing the finish line first.

I know it is normal to feel disappointed when I am unable to finish first.

I sometimes experience feelings of dissatisfaction, especially when I know I have worked hard at a task.

However, I avoid allowing those feelings to consume me. Instead, I take a moment to consider the lesson which I am taking away from the experience.

I am reminded that there is a time and place for everything, including victory.

I am content with the fact that crossing the line in second or third place says very little about my ability and a great deal about my potential and perseverance.

I learn the value of hard work after I cross the finish line, regardless of the position. I stop for a moment and consider whether I could have put forth a little more effort. I affirm that there is always room for improvement.

Today, I believe that I am a more rounded person because I allow myself to learn the lessons life intends for me to learn. I am more gracious about victory because I have learned what it truly means to be victorious.
