i WASI was with a group of young men the other day as they were competing for a position. I watched as the tension grew and the competition escalated. Near the end, one young man seemed to lose concentration as the tide had turned against him. It was apparent that he might lose although not certain. Before the match was finished his attitude insured his defeat, he had quit in his mind. Before the match was over he had conceded defeat. There was still hope, but he quit.
Many grown men do the same thing. They are easy prey to circumstances when they quit before the contest is over. When you are on a team like a marriage, you can't afford to have this gross trait of immaturity. It is weakness at its' worst.
I may not win every battle, but I won't lose because I quit.
You see, Champions suffer failure time and again. Winning is not the only mark of a Champion. A Champion is someone you can count on to give their best effort to the very end. And if a Champion loses, he is gracious in defeat and already preparing for the next battle.
Come on fellas, God has raised us all to be Champions.
Champions are not those who never fail; they are those who never quit!
Never Quit,
David Johnson
