Monday Mantra 27

"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

The only true defeat is in not facing the challenges we fear will bring defeat. It is an ultimate paradox: When we refuse fear we refuse defeat. Even when life doesn’t turn out the way we thought it should, defeat doesn’t grind us down; we come to see it as another passageway to ultimate victory: LIVING OUR OWN TRUTH!
