A couple of weeks ago I competed in the Toastmasters District 31 International Speech Contest. There was a lot on the line… The winner went on the semi-finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking in Vegas. I practiced the speech seven times a day and I recorded myself every time I gave the speech. Within three weeks, I  gave my speech at 12 different Toastmasters clubs. My speech was polished! I knew in my heart and soul that I had this competition in the bag. On the day of the competition, I gave the best performance I could. And when it was time to give out trophies I was called first… I received third place….

 

Martinus third place World Championship of Public Speaking

 

For many that’s a great accomplishment. But for me it wasn’t enough… Winning isn’t everything it’s the only thing… But the lesson in all of this is that sometimes your best isn’t good enough… Sometimes you lose and it happens when it need to happen…

Just ask Beyoncé at Star Search….

 

or Floyd Mayweather at the 1996 Olympics…

Thier respective “losses” was a turning point in their lives as it is a turning point in my life. This is not the end…. This is just the beginning… I feel like I got my fire back… I feel like I’m more focused… I feel more motivated… I feel like I’m Possible….I’ll see y’all at the top!
