You are absolutely right, the point you make here. Winning and losing are almost always relative, and, tied to the journey– it's a journey that defines whether one has won or lost. Like you said, it is so easy to get stuck in the expectation of every "hit" or "not hit", let alone a "win" or "loss" and forget its all a step toward something else. I enjoy thinking of life as a game, like trading, or even sports where the journey is more important than the destination. It is about being balanced, being flexible — and not letting the search for the next "win" cloud the quest itself.
Right. I think the experience of winning or losing can vary too. Sometimes, not much happiness is derive from winning, especially if it's just a step into higher leagues. It's definitely better to shift more into understanding the process of the journey, getting good at it than getting immersed on the relative wins and losses experienced along the way.
Thanks for stopping by :)
