Gracious in defeat

So apart from those five lucky goals you would have won then?

The above is how some take defeat

Finding it impossible to be gracious

Needing to rationalize the unrationalizable

Those driven to win and hating to loose are of a particular nature

Usually not making for very nice people

Are you a good loser?

And we all lose at sometime whatever our walk of life or activity

Can you let go, smile and feel good for the other party winning?

Or do you harbour resentment?

Excuses

No matter where you are today determine to learn to do better

Feeling good for the other party or parties is part of our evolution

To feel good that they feel good

Let go your ego

Let go your pride

Just let go and enjoy having participated

Walk away feeling good

And if competing is important then approach it in a new way

More pleaseure in the activity less in the winning

Who knows you might find it more enjoyable

Life is about more than competing with others

Try competing with yourself.
