The 24-Hour Rule

"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."

Growing up I remember hearing those words on the intro of ABC's Wide World of Sports. Then I'd watch as elite athletes competed to win the prize. Some would win, some would lose.

This may not happen to us as athletes, however it does happen to us as professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners in our every day life. We feel the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

One thing I read about in a book written by John C. Maxwell is a rule he follows called The 24-Hour Rule. In the 24-Hour Rule, he only celebrates for 24 hours after a victory. In a defeat, he only allows himself to feel down about it for 24 hours.

By following the 24-Hour Rule you are giving yourself permission to let go of both the good and bad in your life so you can keep growing.

Growing is the overall objective for all of us...even greater than the thrill of victory.
