“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

• Ernest Hemingway

Being defeated is a choice. 

Being destroyed is losing against external circumstances. 

Many times in life, we take losses. We may try to exert our will against these forces and come up short. 

This happens. This is a part of competing in the game of life. 

But being defeated however is a choice. 

We can choose to stay down when we get knocked down or we can choose to get up. 

This decision is in our hands.

We all take losses in life. This is unavoidable.

What is avoidable is laying down and staying down. 

Don’t let life force you into submission. 

Fight. Persevere. WIN.
