He can rise to the next level. He can learn to risk it and turn an impossibility into a possibility. The time has come for the Church to launch out, exercise her faith, and walk into the 21st Century as a winner, not a loser, one that will be able to believe God for the impossible. First, a winning human being is authentic. A person is genuinely oneself, not a carbon copy or photostatic reproduction of someone else.
Losers are fakers, parading around in masks and acting as though life is a drama.
Out of the Jewish heritage comes the story of a Hasidic rabbi who on his deathbed sees himself as a loser. Pray that never happens to you or me. Consciously let us seek to be and to develop our own authentic, winsome good selves. Secondly, a winning human being is autonomous. By that I mean a winner makes his own decisions and is responsible for his own life.
