Earn it!

Participation trophies don’t count

Nope.  It’s not only a lie, it’s a dangerous message.

Everything you get, everything that’s meaningful in life, is earned.  You have to do more than just show up.

Loss is part of the cycle to get to winning.  There is no shame in losing.

You don’t have to win at every turn.  You don’t have to keep score. The real winner learns from defeat and gets back in the arena.  The real winner knows that everything you get you have to earn.
