Day #152 in A Year of Positivity

“You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.”—Paulo Coelho

We all face uphill battles, and life has a tendency to knock us down and hit us where it really hurts. We all have greatness within us for something, especially for the things and people we love. Sometimes, it seems the uphill battles we’re facing are on the winning end when we’ve reached the point of feeling defeated. It’s at this point that we have a decision to make: to get back up and fight harder for what we want, or to admit defeat and say we have had enough. Paulo Coelho said it best: “You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.” So, the next time life knocks you down and kicks you around, get back up and fight for what you want, because you have greatness in you, and you shouldn’t let anything get in the way of that.
