No Contest

                                                                      If you don’t like losing
                                                                  then don’t let them beat you ..

                                                                        It only ever becomes
                                                                       a challenge my friend ..

                                                                 If one attempts to overcome,
                                                                    overthrow or to defeat it ..

I like this Nev and like it a lot.
Words of uplifting wisdom to carry with me to work...and Christmas shopping!
Never say die and all that.👍
A good inspiring vibe from a level headed philosophical sage as yourself.
Thanks Nev for the encouragement tonic and see you on the flipside :)

Really enjoyed this Neville, does the want to win stop when you are the winner? Or does the challenge need to become more complex?

I am INFJ .. rarest of the rare .. and I aint talkin beefsteaks ..

Being Me

Years ago, when I was at school, I was okay at running. I went all out to win ... It was something I "had" to do .... win. I was fiercely, fiercely competitive.  Can't run for toffee now, though. Nothing like poetry to pull memories from the brain x

I struggle to keep up with my nose if it starts running xx
