My team got beat in the NFL playoffs and the mood in the house got sombre. There are no happy losers. Losing sucks. Big time.
The “what if” games continue in the mind, but the score board is a stark reality. No one ever wins, all the time. How we react to our losses says a lot about us, and our character.
The good ones get back to the drawing board, and prepare to win down the road. Such is the beauty of competition. Such is the reality of life.
