There are basically three types of people in the world: winners, losers, and those playing not to lose. Which are you?
Winners are those who focus on possibilities over problems, who seek wise counsel over consensus, and who walk by faith and not by sight. Losers, and those playing not to lose, believe that the world is working against them, that people have it out for them, and that whatever they do will never be enough.
If you desire to live an impactful life, chose the road of winning. After all, the parable of the talents applauded a 100% return; that’s playing BIG!
Do you play to win, or simply play not to lose?
After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ - Parable of the Talents

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits, who neither enjoy much, nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
