Refuse to Declare Defeat!

If you refuse to declare defeat, you are undefeatable. Bohdi Sanders

Everyone has the power to never lose, although most people give up their power by quitting or thinking they are defeated when they are down. There is an old saying that winners never quit, and quitters never win. While at first, this may sound like nothing more than another cliché, there is deeper wisdom to this common quote.

Think about it. If you quit, there is no way you can continue to strive for victory; when you stop moving towards your goal or objective you can go no further. Moreover, winners don’t quit because when you quit you are declaring defeat, and if you declare defeat, you have no chance of winning. Therefore, those who quit cannot possibly be winners.

You have complete power over your victory or defeat. You may argue that losing or winning can be outside of your realm of control; after all, many things can happen that affect the outcome of every situation. So, how can I say that you have complete power over victory or defeat?

The answer lies in how you define victory or defeart, winning or losing. If you define these terms the way most people do, you would be correct that you don’t have absolute power over victory or defeat. But, if you look at victory and defeat in a different way, you absolutely have power over whether you are undefeatable.

By that, I mean that if you refuse to see losing a battle or having a bad day as a defeat, and start seeing it as the first move in a long, strategic game, it is a lesson, not a defeat. The person who refuses to declare defeat is absolutely undefeatable. In the game of life, no one loses until he or she declares defeat and gives up. Until that time, the game continues.

Furthermore, if you define victory as growing and improving mentally and spiritually, then no one has the power to stop you. A “loss” simply becomes knowledge and wisdom gained, therefore, it is not a loss, but another victory in becoming the person you want to be. If you refuse to declare defeat, you are undefeatable.
