LOSING TO WIN

It hardly comes all smooth and straight. If only we allow challenges to purge out our best. There’re times when we take two steps backwards. This is the period of losses and under-achievements. There’s no champion without a contest. No HERO without a life-threatening ordeal. No VICTOR without battles that sure saps. We can’t help when they do come. Hellish, terrible drawbacks we get to experience. Thinking straight and ahead should be our first step. Self-chastisement is of no use. We don’t get paper if we don’t pulp wood. When a setback props up. Search deeply as you can. Along with it comes a wave That is bound to propel right ahead to success. We most times forfeit present little goodies. Vaguely though, for ripened and more-filling ones. If only we could get the clear picture. Take five steps forward for every step backward
