00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,400
At some point, everybody will encounter adversity 
that brings

2
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:12,000
feelings of frustration, grief, or exhaustion.

3
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:15,900
Many people respond to these emotions by 
attempting

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,800
to drown them out through entertainment, 
food, or even alcohol.

5
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,800
Unfortunately, the more we lament what has 
happened,

6
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,100
the more we will find ourselves in negative—

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,000
even destructive—patterns of living.

8
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:34,500
The more we focus on the positive and future 
potential,

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,200
the more we are able to put the past behind 
us.

10
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:41,500
We all need to give ourselves grace and time 
to heal

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,500
as we deal with disappointment, but never 
stay in a state of coping.

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,900
Pursue health, restoration, and victory.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,300
If you don’t quit, you will win.

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s 
Minute.
