===Quote===
“Religious [[insight]] possesses the [[power]] of turning [[defeat]] into higher [[desires]] and new determinations.” [UB 196:3.29]
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Episodic defeats do not have to turn into terminal losses. When correctly processed, they become potent [[catalysts]] that propel you forward from an unforeseen backstep and bring you ever closer to the happy [[unfolding]] of your divinely conceived [[destiny]].
How else could you become [[aware]] of what needs remediation or improvement in your [[inner world]] if it remained unruffled—yet in disharmony with [[God]]’s way?
Defeats bruise your [[delusional]] and unruly [[ego]]. Humble [[souls]] [[interpret]] them as road [[signs]] pointing in the right [[direction]]. If you harbor a victor’s mentality, they will drive you forward instead of intimidating you, remotivating you to beat the odds.
Many successful [[individuals]] ate their share of humble pie. Yet, [[passion]]-driven, they kept pursuing their [[dreams]]. How much sweeter was the [[taste]] of their hard-earned victory!
It all boils down to your [[attitude]]. You are the one deciding whether you will let setbacks depreciate the overall quality of your life—thus declaring emotional [[bankruptcy]]—or if their stings will act as booster shots.
Rather than victimizing an [[innocent]] [[God]] with your misguided [[anger]], unmask the real culprits. Were your objectives legitimate? Did you lend a deaf ear to the [[warnings]] of [[reason]], acting foolishly? Both defeats and victories are subject to the immutable law of [[cause and effect]].
Go back to the drawing board. Instead of flying solo, enlist the wise [[assistance]] of your [[inner Guidance]]. Skillfully turn your misses into hits by expressing [[gratitude]] for the very situations that act as agents of [[positive]] [[change]] in your life and as generous dispensers of practical [[wisdom]].”
