Monday motivation quote: “I really think a champion is defined not by their wins…” – Serena Williams

This week, we are sharing a quote from the superstar athlete, Serena Williams. This quote is about the side of life that not many people talk about and are usually not willing to discuss.

This week’s quote is about failure and how to deal with it over the course of your life. There is no successful person in life who did not have a few stumbling blocks.

Look at it like you are learning how to walk. As a baby, when you took your first few steps, you inevitably fell into someone else’s arms. That did not stop you though as you continued to try until finally, as an adult, you can now walk over long distance without stumbling.

You can run, and sometimes, you even do it willingly as a form of exercise. This is how failures and successes work in our life too.

You must remember that trying times and failure do not exist to make us give up on our goals. Instead, they exist to teach us important lessons, many of which you will find useful as you go further into your journey.

You will find useful skills like determination, perseverance, and long-suffering, and these are the skills that will ensure that you end up as a winner.

So, as you go into the new week, remember this awesome quote below:

“I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.” – Serena Williams.

Serena has had her own years of trials even in the sport in which she is well known. For the past few years, she has also suffered a title drought. But she continues to push through with the confidence that she can end the drought.

It is that same resilience that you need in your own life to effect real change. Don’t forget that nobody really notices when you are failing but everyone will definitely sit up and take notes when you become a success.
