There’s no such thing as defeat.
There’s always another chance. To believe in defeat is to believe that there is something, a certain point in time that did not come from Above.
Know that G‑d doesn’t have failures. If things appear to worsen, it is only as part of them getting better. We fall down only in order to bounce back even higher.

Yes there is.
Having an entire family killed off with no further heir by the Nazis or by Palestinians or by others who emulate Amalek or are Amalek.
May the resurrection of the righteous be during our generation.

When you reach your lowest point and you feel all is lost, there’s no turning back, there’s no going forward and you just don’t want to remain in the place you’re at now. You have to dig deep inside yourself for all the strength you can gather up, no matter how very hard it is to do, you’ve got to do it. Never ever give up or give in and don’t accept defeat; because G d didn’t create defeatist and doesn’t want his creations to become failures. G d created each and everyone of us with a spirit to overcome the worst times and rise above the worst and become the very best creations we can become. Reply

This is a keeper. I am writting this on my wall Thank you ... again! And this is why, when it seems so hard to think about going one with a feeling of divine purpose, to be more than I was created as, I can find joy and continue on. Israel... can be read as Yid sara el or the Yid that preservers by divine "El" power of faith in your predestined journey. Y'sarael perseveres through and out of the despair so despair ever exists. We all are gifted with the need to seek why I was created and by faith in a personal, divine journey home: back to the was and the glory before creation began. Reply
Defeat -> Crisis -> Restructure (RE: Gavri, Canada)
When we keep using strategies that don't work anymore we are defeated repeatedly and reach a crisis. This is G_d's way of indicating we need to move in a new direction. An out-of-the-box solution. The present system of operation has to be restructured.
Many of our systems are in crisis now. Humanity is at a turning point. The current systems will collapse unless we work with them in a new cooperative way in the tightly interconnected network that has been created.

ANOTHER CHANCE it's obvious from the comments how the Rebbe continues to help and affect us through this wonderful means! my prayers are with all of us for yet another chance. Reply
It Is Not As much Believing In Defeat But... coming to an understanding that since you have already been defeated and learning how to cope with the defeat that dominates one's life and lifestyle. There are those times when everything so hopeless that there is absolutely no hope in sight. In knowing this it is better to come to some kinds of acceptance with the defeat then to kick the goads and still end up in no hope at all Reply
Lifetimes We are given many lifetimes in this physical consciousness until we reach equivalence of goodness like the Creator: To give G_d as much pleasure as He gives us. Reply
Alfred Pennyworth Nice to see confirmation of what Alfred says to Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins after Wayne Mansion is burned down (a metaphor for Bruce having to reconstruct himself). Reply

How to believe?
I am at this very moment in an oncologic clinic, here in Buenos Aires, watching at my sister, she is in an advanced oncologic condition, and wondering how to believe in your words.
With all respect and affection

another chance
one year, two years later and from another person this message gives me also courage and strength to continue forward.
But I wonder about the concept of G-d not having failures. Does this mean that G-d is not about to let me fail. If I stay in one place or return to slavery, is this a failure, is the failing mine alone?

Thank you The right message, just right on time when I feel that the world is going against me,close to ending my life, life that has been so cruel to me for the past months, and that I can't hold on to anymore. Thank You so much for your wisdom. And I thank G-d for His mercy, and compassion. Reply

This is incredible and so clear. This is the point of departure or return This truth is what the world at large (religions) do not see. This is the pulse of Redemption. This carries even those who know it not…Hallelujah!
