When you’re out of work, can’t find a new job and the prospects look slim, it is easy to give up hope.

When you are still searching for that one soulmate with whom to share your life but you keep meeting the same person again and again, it’s understandable to become discouraged.

If you’ve been disappointed by someone close to you and feel this type of thing is happening too much, it is perfectly normal to want to throw the towel in.

We become depressed, forlorn and disheartened for good reasons.

But before you give up, try this one last thing.

Think like a champion.

In sports, players never walk off the field and say, this is getting to be too much.  They persist even if the loss they are enduring is discouraging and embarrassing.

Sleep it off, learn from mistakes and try again tomorrow.

For how long should you keep coming back to try again?

For as long as it takes to attain what you are seeking.

I am always most motivated by the thought that we learn more from failure than success so when you are on a losing streak, try to remember that you are practicing for your next success which will come in time.

Like sports, success is a game of averages.
