In order to have a meaningful and successful Life after Defeat, Step 1 is to separate Who YOU ARE from WHAT HAPPENED (the event).  Now the next steps:

• Take Time to Reflect
  • Avoid far reaching decisions while you are ‘feeling blue.’
    • Choices under such conditions are likely to be
      • emotion driven,
      • ill advised, and
      • wrong.
  • Learn from the experience.
    • Who to trust
    • What to do
    • A better way

• Keep Things in Perspective
  • The Time Perspective
    • There may be other opportunities.
    • Take the long view.
      • How will this look one, two, five, or ten years from now?
      • How will this look from the other side of eternity?
    • You may have gone through this in the past,
      • remember how you made it through then?
        • You can do it again!
  • The ‘Others’ Perspective
    • In the past your ‘win’ meant others lost!
    • Your experience may not be the best,
      • but it is not the worst either.
    • Others have survived such things
      • so can you!
  • The ‘God’ Perspective
    • He lives, he sees, he knows, he understands, and
      • he loves YOU!
    • He is in control
    • He does not make mistakes
    • All Things Are Possible with him

• Consider Alternatives
  • Do it again!
    • Success sometimes (often) comes only after several tries
    • ‘Third time is the charm’
    • Believe!
  • Adjust Your Line of Attack (approach)
    • More and better preparation
    • Note the ‘signs’ along the way and make adjustments
  • Change Direction
    • You may not be a fighter pilot but
      • you will be able to design the planes they fly in
    • You may not qualify or be approved to be a doctor
      • but you will be an excellent nurse practitioner or
      • a medical technician, or a surgical nurse, etc.
    • You may not qualify to become an engineer
      • but you will be an excellent and successful mechanic!
    • You get the idea!
