How far are you from winning

In my previous article, I mentioned that we are having an overnight swimming party hosted by my younger cousin. We had fun and amazing memories again. Surprisingly, even though we are not complete because kids doesn't allowed to go with us and some are working. We make every moment to be like a treasure chest. I am very happy because it took me a year and half to experience to swim again.

I found difficulty to sleep earlier this morning. That was my body's response whenever my sleep doesn't followed according to usual. Even though my eyes are sleepy and my body wants to rest, but my mind is so active. Like when I tried to close my eyes and force myself to sleep. My thoughts are running wild. I kept thinking about my rabbits, my chickens, what happened earlier and read.cash as well. At the end, I did not sleep. I finally got sleep at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and woke at 5:15 o'clock.

Winning is the moment when you overcome all the hurdles in the competition and became first place. That is our very basic concept when it terms to winning. However, what is the reason why you keep continuing your life and what's the price of winning? I am very open about concept of winning and loosing for it will both benefit me.

In a race, participants are aligned together and when signal was given. That is the time when you all participants will start running and reach the goal. Everyone's goal is to finished first to become the winner of the said race. The crowd are cheering for their respective bet and was hyped. How lovely to see your bet at the front line and stand to your chair whenever someone surpassed him.

What is the reason behind of our own concept of winning? I believe that everyone has their own concept of winning. Perhaps your concept of winning is not about getting the price of competition and being in the front line, but collecting all the possible experiences which can make you a better person. Moving forward, challenging ourselves is one of the best way to create opportunities for us to grow and to develop.

I know someone who is very eager to join all the open competitions to school. He was very eager to challenge himself not because of his confidence in winning, but rather experiencing the best way of living as a student. As a matter of fact, out of 16 competitions in school, he won 12 of them. His winnings are not all first place, but we can say he won second and third too. He doesn't see his winnings as requirement to boast to everyone, but see as an opportunity to testify that sometimes challenging yourself makes a better self.

As time goes by, he kept competing and competing. Competition to challenge , challenge to winnings, winnings to growth and growth to improve oneself. Can you imagine how much that person has now? When you meet him in person, you can tell how much aura he can release and tells you that he is a matured person. When I met him, I was shocked how much wisdom he shared to me. I had this impression that he is funny but serious, talkative but with sense, and can help you build up yourself.

One time when our conversation was heating up and he accidentally told me that winning is not always winning. I still remember the exact words he shared to me. He told me that winning is not always winning. The moment I joined a competition my mindset is to feed myself with lessons and sharpen my discipline. It is a bonus if I get a price of the competition. That is my own version and definition of winning.

I was stunned for a second and thought about it seriously. I realized I was too focused and selfish about getting the price. Yes, I know that I went through harsh trainings and reviews just to compete. I thought that it is the requirement for me to become deserving as winner. However, that is not how competition works. If you think your hardships are the main reason for you to become a winner, then do you think your competitors did not do the samething?

It is good to have a winner mindset, but don't go too far because it could lead you to selfish mindset. I would say anything has its own price and you just need to be patience. Do not look on how far are you from winning, but pay attentionly on the process of winning. The person I met and talked about winning concept is myself, itself.
