"Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change". — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everyone wins some and looses some, and the shift from one to the other can be swift and extreme. Experience and maturity make learning from, accepting, and forgiving your mistakes easier and worthwhile.
"That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning." — Richard Bach
Succeeding starts with visualizing yourself as capable and competent enough to reach your goal. It's very difficult to go somewhere without first knowing where you want to go.
"Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world — making the most of one's best." — Harry Emerson Fosdick
Life is a balancing act that becomes easier with age. You understand more and judge less.
"If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?" — Rob Bremer
