The sun sets on another day…
The sky was cloudy and full of gray, snow sputtered and flew, and it was all pretty cool, and cold too as the ice coated everything.
I was spending a little time thinking after playing trivia tonight. It was an intense battle, and we hadn’t been there in quite some time. The two teams that were playing hardest against us were long established teams with a lot of players and our small team was doing OK. No, we weren’t winning, that may be next week in movie trivia. This is mainly due to having a whole sports section and not a single one of us being interested in sports, oops. Surprisingly we got quite a few correct in that section and held our own. At the end of the game, we came in 3rd but to me it felt like first simply because we hadn’t been there in a long time and weren’t really aligned with this line of trivia.
Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at the situation. It isn’t always about winning, sometimes it’s about winning against yourself. We did quite well against ourselves tonight and I’m sure you do quite well when you think you’re not. Just remember that the only person you have to impress is you and when put in a situation that is almost no win, it’s OK to not win. (Of course, it’s cool if you overcome everything and slaughter everyone, but it’s not absolutely necessary)
So as the sun sets on another day, it was a good day, and you could have had a good day too if you only realized that the only thing you have to push against is the person you were yesterday and as long as you keep improving the world is going to be a better place. Keep making yourself better each and every day and go for the wins always but accept the losses with grace. You are that terrific always, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and you are a winner…
