It is okay to lose. That is how we learn. That is how we get better at what we do. So it is okay to lose. It is okay to fail. It is okay to make mistakes.

When you lose, take it as an opportunity to get better, to know more about yourself. Take it as an opportunity to reach out to other people who are better than you at what you are doing. And when you lose, take it as an opportunity to question your ego.

‘If you are playing not to lose, you are already losing.’

Yes, your ego. You can’t win by respecting your ego. You can’t win if you don’t pocket your ego. Guess what? If you don’t pocket your ego, your ego will pocket you.

But it is not okay to focus on what is easy. Look, if you focus on what is easy, you will get what is easy. And what is easy doesn’t make you better. It makes you worse.

Do not be scared.

Everything is possible.

But to get there, the world of possibilities, you must stop playing not to lose. It won’t help you. If you are playing not to lose, you are already losing.

‘No one wins when fear is in charge.’

Because you are not giving your best. You are not becoming your best. And you are not connecting with the best. And above all, you are not being true to yourself.

To move forward in your life, you must stop playing not to lose. And you must start taking calculated risks. Do not allow fear to cripple you. Do not allow fear to control you. If you do, you will never achieve your dreams. Because no one wins when fear is in charge.

Whether we like to change or not, we are not going to be able to resist change. The power of change is bigger and stronger than your own. People don’t like change, but it is necessary. We can’t grow without it. It is good for your health. It is good for your life. It stimulates growth.

You can’t do great things without change. We like to do the same thing forever. We like where we are. We like to take the same road to work. We like to hang out with the same people. We like to eat at the same restaurant. It is good to hang out with the same people, but if you want to know other people, you must find time to meet other people. If you want to change your life, to learn new things, to explore the world, to learn about other people, you must get out of your comfort zone. Your comfort zone is good, but not enough to change your life.

If you want to change the direction of your life, if you want to pursue your dreams, you must do it now. You must do it today. You don’t have time to waste. If you think you have enough time to play around, you are just kidding yourself. Whatever you want to do, today is the right day to start. Do it today.
