Sometimes the victory is found when suffering a loss, minor or otherwise. To play better than you ever had before, to speak or write to a degree far greater than previously experienced. These can occur in contexts of loss too, some of the best sport ever played came out when their team was losing. Whether the comeback is assured matters little, what does matter is your progress, skill, and new heights achieved. Artisans do it for the craft, the losses are part of the game of learning to be better. Each step brings one further in their journey of mastery. Hold steady in your practice, and build with the expectation of success, for in that, you’ll already have it.
Meditate.
