Paulo Coelho
A warrior of light does not treat defeat as if it were a matter of indifference to him, saying things like ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter’ or ‘To be honest, I didn’t really want it that much’, He accepts defeat as defeat and does not try to make a victory out of it.

Hi…
about defeat… it’s ok not to make a victory from a defeat, that’s true… but somehow also we need to take the positive things of it, so at the end the defeat will be a lesson to help us deal with other situations or problems in our path, isn’t it right?
On the other hand… how can we know when the defeat is really a defeat or just an obstacle in our path? How can we actually move on if it really damage us in all possible ways?

'In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can'.
Defeat is just a moment in our Path! There is always the … next day.. If we look around and contemplate, we, with the 'acquired wisdom', we may be able to see the reasons of our … temporal defeat, which have turned into valuable experiences and weapons. Then we are ready to proceed to our Path and turn the defeat to … victory.
Regarding the words of others, we must always remember that envy, ignorance and Evil may govern their dark Souls.
Dearest Annie, remember You are not alone to face ..defeat, but victory too. We are with you always listening to your music.
LOVE,
Thelma.

A warrior of light is as graceful in defeat as in victory. a wol is able to joke about both his victotries and his defeats., something like what Mirela has said.
Annie a wol is one who has perfected the art of choosing what he must from a collection of feedback he keep son receiving, remember both devil and angel whishper to us. A wol is one who is as comfortable being perfectly alone as he is amidst friends or foes ! at his core, though outwardly he may say / be anything !

Yes, because it is his dream..and he wont give in, he cant say he didnt want it, because he wanted it with all the might of his heart…
no he wont give in, he wont listen to others “See? this is not your path..if it was you should suceed” that poison his heart, no they cant understand…
and he has to face this defeat, alone…but he ll make sure not to miss a chance, and at one of these, the door will be open!
Love and Graditude

A fine agosto feci le valige….Valige?!? Erano borsoni grandi come armadi, pieni di vestiti tuoi e miei per tutte le stagioni, libri, giocattoli, pentole, frullatore, lettori CD, VHS e DVD, computer… che non trovarono neanche tutti posto in un autobus. Tuo padre dovette spedirmi una borsa con l’autobus della settimana dopo. Rendendosi finalmente conto della mia irremovibilità, si mise a piangere:
- Come farò senza di voi? - diceva.
- “Come farò senza Vittoria?” - traducevo nella mia mente, escludendo a priori qualsiasi suo dispiacere nel vedermi finalmente andare via dalla sua vita, resa difficile a causa di una moglie irresponsabile, come troppo spesso mi chiamava.

Elas fazem parte do caminho (as derrotas). Se não fosse assim, não haveriam as batalhas que travamos vez ou outra. E precisam ser aceitas como tal, é necessário para que não perdamos o senso de realidade. A frustação acaba por nos fazer mover adiante…

Happy to note by reading that citation that I am more today of a warrior of light! The biggest defeat for me was when I got again a depression and had return to alcohol for “energy” … I was a defeat in that center as a mother, a wife, a daughter, a neighbor, a friend, a “soul” … BUT I AM BACK! The wowan, the one and only Johanne, body, mind and soul … When I am confronted to what I consider a defeat, (like with alcoolism), like I was thought at first by Alcooholic Anonymous, is to accept and recognize the defeat, my incapacity of changing “for the present time”. The Serenity Prayer was my companion for one year: God, give me serenity to accept what I cannot change, the Courage to change what I can and the “Sagesse” to know the difference. Accepting defeat does not mean forget … Defeat means to accept now, in the present, and take the path of understanding why, what that experience has to learn me, say about me, about all that. I declared my defeat against the school institution, meaning trying to explain to those authorities in place their importance in the growing of the child (not only a rational growing), the impact their words had, the importance of the relation and their role, etc, etc, and had to declare defeat. However, I did not declare it in my relation with them, since I know I am right in my thinking and what I have to say … The defeat is: I cannot myself go against that big thing but I can stand up for me and what I believe in, and my action is to pray that the next generation, my children will make the difference. I declare defeat for the moment … So, I accept defeat more and more, accept my limits, the limits, stay true to what I truly believe in, and prepare another strategy, or leave it to other warriors and come back to my mission … Sometimes I found out that I confronted defeat because I was battling the wrong battle for me, that I was dispersed … There is always a Light in the defeat mode to be seen and understood.

Sometimes is that way. But happens that after a time one realize that the defeat was for the best.
