Smoke and Laser, and a life lesson about being a Winner

Smoke and laser projects life through time and space with the speed of light.
This composition is a great teacher about the winning mentality.

What many people don't understand is that a winner... can't always win.
Wins solely don't make winners!
I know that may sound counterintuitive,

The 2 actual main ingredients in winners are work, and a winning mentality.
Work is basic physics, force is needed to move a mass,
You have to put in work to move a mass !
But there is more to it, resistance apposing forces and other forces can make it hard but not only that, they can also bring you down.
Gravity pulls us , until we hit rockbottom.

Perhaps an illustration will make things more clear

work is needed to win but not only to win but to keep winning.
You can win today but tomorrow if you don't put in work you can get pushed down by opposing forces.
You then are no longer a winner and If are to be honest must say I was a winner in the past but not in the present.

What separates winning and loosing is work... this is of course an over simplifications and there is more to the separation , privilege can play a role in making a foundation to stop from allowing opposing forces to bring you down any lower , but for the purpose of this lesson we will stick to the simplified version.

Remember!
winning is a state, you may be winning at the moment, or losing, but that is not a guarantee that in the next moment you will remain in the same position.

This all feeds back to the winners mentality,
A winner can't always win, but thats not what makes one a winner.
The winner is the one who refuses to give up!
That is the true measure of a winner you will encounter failure, but are you going to give up ?

This is a little picture from my instagram account I abandoned since the discovery of steemit :)

Im sure you thought this was a nice lesson and you may have learned a thing or two, even if you did not, its great to solidify the things we already know.

But how does this relate to the abstract photo you called smoke and laser you may ask.
Not always do things go how you want or how you plan.

Smoke and laser was a great example.
I had a vision that I wanted to bring to life.
It took various attempts to get the desired result but I would not quite, until I reached my definition of winning.

Here are some of the failures, don't give up ... try again.

some of these are actually not to bad and I may use them to make some art in the future.
That is a lesson in it self, learning from and using failure to your advantage.

I appreciate your support and hope this post moves and inspires you in a positive manner.
