We're warriors. That's just the way we live our lives. We fight battles every step of the way. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. The not-so obvious battles happen all the time. The battle with sleep. The battle with the ketchup bottle. The battle with the faulty internet connection. In the grand scheme of things, despite how insignificant they may be, they still affect us. The outcome, most of the time only ever so slightly is affected.
Then there are the literal, very real battles, the outcomes of which, greatly affect our lives. Sometimes we lose. Sometimes we win.
This article is not about winning. This article is about losing.
Because losing is hard. Losing sucks. Losing makes us feel sad. Losing allows doubt to creep into our minds. Losing helps deflate all of the good we feel for ourselves. Losing destroys what we've built, shakes our defenses and picks at our insecurities. Losing makes us lose faith in ourselves.
Grieve. Cry. Whine.
Then stop.
Take a deep breath. And fight again.
Losing sucks. Winning is better. So fight like you mean it and win.
