Paying Dues Now, Reaping Winning Later


Expert Author Joshua Clayton

We all love to repeatedly win in a second nature way, but to do that we need to train, condition, work and above all pay our dues to really, consciously and consistently win. When I thought up this article, I was feeling like a loser and a failure for a few minutes. Indeed, though, I realize that when you can train and not take temporarily horrible feelings personally, winning is always the reality ultimately. For, the real cosmic ultimate power is to get through temporary defeats to permanent and repeated wonderful winning. I mean, letting things get you down is the worst way to live or die. You must look at all defeat as temporary, and cherish all the victories and happiness you can in life/existence.

Without a realistic viewpoint about defeat and victory that agrees with reality, nothing works. With a realistic viewpoint about defeat and victory that agrees with the reality that dues and work must be paid to genuinely gain anything worthwhile, everything can be achieved, everything works ultimately in this sense: You earned it, it cannot be taken away from you, and you can earn it again even if it is lost, taken or whatever.

Also, the real loss is to be permanently defeated in your mind/spirit/being fully, like an adult large elephant that gives up trying to escape the wooden stake in the ground after being conditioned as a baby elephant that it cannot escape with a deep metal stake in the ground and a strong chain.

The greatest successes come from understanding defeat fully and then making a more powerful, honest, concerted effort after that temporary defeat. As long as there is life, energy and ability to work, there is a chance. That is the way it must be looked at to really win ultimately, anyway. The real loser gives up forever without trying again in any way.

I know, that is a starkly extreme way to look at things. When an extreme light shines on reality, that is the honest reality of the situation shown there: Winning a reality goes to those who are genuinely willing to put in the effort and the key word is "willing", whatever the obstacles or dues to pay, they are willing to do what is needed as well as wanted.

The genuine fantasy is the mystical "no effort free lunch" anyway. If we really want it, right, the way we want it, we have to genuinely be willing to pay the price in total reality, and if we want it on our own terms, we have to pay the full price honestly in total reality in realistic willing effort.
