The On Purpose Podcast Ep. 50 – The Art of Losing Badly

No one sets out on a goal with the intention of losing. However, there is always the knowledge that losing is a possibility. Some of us use the fear of losing to empower, motivate and challenge ourselves. We visualize ourselves winning. Sure losing is a possibility, but you’ve trained to win. There’s no way your going to lose.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of losing and what losing teaches us. Defeat is never easy, but it’s an opportunity for Growth. How you handle your losses says a lot about you, maybe even more that how you handle your victories.

This Week’s Purposeful Practice:

1. Are you avoiding situations in your life because you are afraid to lose?
2. What is your greatest loss and what did you learn from it?
3. Are you leading people around you to avoid losing situations or to become resilient after a loss?

Remember team life is too short to live any other way than ON PURPOSE. See you all next week!

I am a retired police officer (though that money is set aside for our future selves, because we did so at a young age, 46) who now travels the country with my wife and our puppy living full time out of our Airstream.

We run a successful podcast, The On Purpose Podcast in which we share weekly episodes interviewing all sorts of fascinating people we meet around the country who are living their lives with purpose. It's been a fascinating run over the past 4 years and we love growing our purposeful living community around the world.
