Denial and Isolation
The first stage of loss is denial. There is a disbelief that having given your all, you didn’t win the competition. You may look at the situation and feel like you’ve been jilted and robbed from having the title. You may even feel that a ref made a bad call and cost you the competition. Denial can come in many forms, but it doesn’t change the outcome.
Anger
Once you’ve worked past the denial that you’ve lost, anger sets in. There is an inner fire that burns. You may become aggressive and get into shouting matches with others. Some athletes throw balls, helmets and bats in a rage. They may also threaten to quit or storm out of an area as things escalate.
Bargaining
The next item in the stages of loss is bargaining with a higher power. This is the belief that despite all the suffering in the world, that God’s main focus is listening to your loss and making it better. The outcome might change such as a revelation of illegal substance abuse from the opponent. You may offer to donate a portion of your winnings to charity. Go to church next Sunday. Even name drop him in high profile interviews.
Enjoy this podcast on the five stages of loss
Depression
Realizing that the denial, anger and bargaining didn’t work, you slip into the next progression in the stages of loss. That’s depression. Here, you hit an emotional low. You might begin to lead yourself to believe others view you as the world player of all time. That your time in the sun is over. That perhaps it is time to hang up your hat and call it quits. However, you need to remember that this is a single competition and the next one things might go your way.
Acceptance
At this point, you’ve accepted that you’ve suffered a loss as a competition. You understand that a loss doesn’t define your abilities. Instead, you realize this is a chance to pick yourself up off the ground and to reevaluate your situation. You use this opportunity to improve your game face and you train harder than you do did the last time. The result is that when you enter the next competition, you are ready to take on and this time succeed.

Whose Story Are You Living?
And this is from Self Growth
Just a few days ago on July 4th I visited NASA at the Kennedy Space Center to check out the new exhibit “Atlantis”, which was the last space shuttle to go into space.
What happened was completely unexpected!
I was so inspired by the greatness of our nation, our scientists and the astronauts that risked everything to explore and learn more about space and earth.
The most moving event for me was listening to President John F. Kennedy giving a speech at Rice University. Here is the part that got to me:
“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. “ – President John F. Kennedy
In addition a phenomenon known as the Overview Effect became very clear.
The Overview Effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts and cosmonauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from orbit or from the lunar surface.
It refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void, shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, the astronauts tell us, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative.
Third-hand observers of these individuals may also report a noticeable difference in attitude. Astronauts Rusty Schweikart, Edgar Mitchell, Tom Jones, Chris Hadfield[6] and Mike Massimino are all reported to have experienced the effect.
The term and concept were coined in 1987 by Frank White, who explored them in his book The Overview Effect — Space Exploration and Human Evolution (Houghton-Mifflin, 1987), (AIAA, 1998).

This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on Mental Strength Tip #101: Personal Development And Success.
The purpose of this podcast is to help you understand the importance of consistent personal development in order to achieve your human potential.
As Mark Twain explains, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Life without growth would be a pretty dull existence and if you’re not growing…your dying…there is no standing still in nature.

Many people have times when they are choosing not to develop personally due to life situations like fear, routine, outside interference, etc. However, those very situations can bring about unconscious growth when we are handling new challenges.
Growth is the essence of personal development and the development of mental strength to learn all that we are capable of. As we learn, develop and grow, we avoid the discontentment, resentment and disappointment that can be the consequence of a life without personal development.
Personal development is important. It provides us the opportunity to create a better quality of life physically, mentally and spiritually…to achieve our personal goals and reach personal success. It opens doors and provides the satisfaction that comes only from accomplishment.
“To conquer oneself is the best and noblest victory; to be vanquished by one’s own nature is the worst and most ignoble defeat.” – Plato

Deductive reasoning, also deductive logic or logical deduction or, informally, “top-down” logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more general statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion.
Deductive reasoning links premises with conclusions. If all premises are true, the terms are clear, and the rules of deductive logic are followed, then the conclusion reached is necessarily true.
Deductive reasoning is a basic form of valid reasoning. Deductive reasoning, or deduction, starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories.
In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things in general, it is also true for all members of that class. For example, “All men are mortal. Harold is a man. Therefore, Harold is mortal.” For deductive reasoning to be sound, the hypothesis must be correct. It is assumed that the premises, “All men are mortal” and “Harold is a man” are true. Therefore, the conclusion is logical and true.
Deductive reasoning (top-down logic) contrasts with inductive reasoning (bottom-up logic) in the following way: In deductive reasoning, a conclusion is reached from general statements, but in inductive reasoning the conclusion is reached from specific examples.
Inductive reasoning, also known as induction or informally “bottom-up” logic, is a kind of reasoning that constructs or evaluates general propositions that are derived from specific examples. Inductive reasoning contrasts with deductive reasoning, in which specific examples are derived from general propositions.
Inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning makes broad generalizations from specific observations. Even if all of the premises are true in a statement, inductive reasoning allows for the conclusion to be false. Here’s an example: “Harold is a grandfather. Harold is bald. Therefore, all grandfathers are bald.” The conclusion does not follow logically from the statements.
Critical thinking is a way of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true, partly true, or false. Critical thinking is an important component of most professions. It is a part of formal education and is increasingly significant as students’ progress through university to graduate education, although there is debate among educators about its precise meaning and scope.

This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on the post Self Respect and Personal Success.
The purpose of this warrior mind podcast is to help you understand that self-respect is one the pillars that support and sustains mental strength habits, actions and behavior’s
Self-respect is one of 2 main ingredients to self-esteem. Self-confidence is the other ingredient. Self-esteem is more than just liking or feeling good about yourself. It’s being confident in your abilities to cope with life’s pitfalls and believing in your worthiness to have love, success and happiness.
Enjoy the podcast below:
Self-respect is feeling you are of value. Believing you have a right or worthiness to love, success, and happiness. Of deserving to have your needs and desires met. It does NOT mean you feel your rights or desires take precedent over others, but that others needs don’t take precedent over yours.
Self-respect means proud of who you are, even with the mistakes you made in the past. It means looking yourself in the mirror and thinking “This person has their act together.” While you reflect on your past life, you should smile and think “man I’m awesome.”
It means not using alcohol, drugs or violence to solve problems. To overcome and oppress those who bring you down. Whatever hurts you only makes you stronger. It’s to think that you are a good person, but not to the point of arrogance or narcissism. You don’t have to be the smartest kid in your class, you don’t have to make a million dollars a year and you don’t have to be popular to have self-esteem and self-respect.
