"گاهی اوقات در زندگی همیشه احساس نمی کنی که برنده ای اما این به معنای این نیست که برنده نیستی"

Life can often feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. There are days when everything falls into place, and you feel on top of the world. But then, there are those days when nothing seems to go right. You might feel like a failure, questioning your worth and abilities. This idea is what the quote speaks to. Simply put, not feeling like a winner doesn't mean you aren't one. Our emotions and perspectives can be deceiving, often not reflecting our true achievements or potential.

This wisdom resonates deeply with the human experience because we've all been there. Think back to when you were in school. Remember that exam you studied so hard for, only to get a grade that didn’t reflect your effort? You might've felt defeated, even if, objectively, you grasped the material better than most. It’s a reminder that our feelings in the moment don’t always align with reality.

Take the story of Thomas Edison, for example. He’s the guy who invented the light bulb, but did you know he failed thousands of times before getting it right? Imagine how many times he must've felt like a total flop. But did those feelings make him any less of a winner? Absolutely not. His persistence—and his ability to see beyond momentary failures—ultimately led to one of the most significant inventions in history.

So, what can you do with this little nugget of wisdom? First, give yourself a break when you’re feeling down. It's normal to have off days. Remind yourself that your worth isn’t tied to how you feel at any given moment. Develop the habit of looking at the bigger picture. Did you put in the effort? Did you learn something new? Did you grow in some way, even if things didn't go as planned? Celebrate those small victories because they add up.

Imagine you're training for a marathon. You start strong, but there are days when running even a mile feels like torture. You might think, “I can’t do this. I’m not cut out for this.” But if you measure your progress over weeks and months, you'll likely see improvements. The key is to keep going, even when you don’t feel like it. Marathon runners will tell you that the real victory isn’t in crossing the finish line—it’s in pushing through the tough training days when quitting seems much easier.

Let me share a personal story. A few years ago, I was trying to launch a small business. I poured my heart and soul into it, but the first few months were brutal. Sales were slow, and self-doubt crept in. I felt like I was failing. But then, I remembered Edison. I started focusing on the small wins—each new customer, every bit of positive feedback. Slowly but surely, things turned around. Looking back, those tough early days taught me resilience and patience. They didn’t make me any less of a winner; they made me stronger.

So next time you’re feeling down, remember this: Just because you don’t feel like a winner doesn’t mean you’re not one. Keep going, keep learning, and trust that your efforts will pay off in the long run.
