Experience Defeat, But Don’t Be Defeated
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” – Maya Angelou
I need anyone and everyone here reading or listening to this who is going through something right now to take these words to heart.
I won’t try to tell her story, but I will reshare some of my own.
I was a high flying student who had serious setbacks when I wasn’t able to master algebra, trigonometry, or calculus the first time I took them.
I was a young entrepreneur who bet everything I could put my hands on a pizza place. Sales were trending up but I ran out of money before I could get to profitability.
I got married and found myself separated from my then wife in less than a year, divorced in less than two.
These were defeats. But I wasn’t defeated. I obtained my degrees. I have my dream job. I’ve been happily married to an extraordinary woman for nearly 30 years now.
Defeat happens. Don’t be defeated. Get up. Learn something. Keep going.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
