Wins and Losses

The saga continues
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang

Olympic torch flaming, we burn so sweet
The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat -song “Triumph” by Wu-Tang Clan

“Whatever anyone does or says, for my part I’m bound to the good. In the same way an emerald or gold or purple might always proclaim: ‘whatever anyone does or says, I must be what I am and show my true colors.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

When your team wins, it feels great for a short while, and then it ends.

When your team loses, it feels awful for a short while, and then it ends.

What never ends is the work. That’s your true north. It’s always there, waiting for you. You can count on it.

What are you passionate about?

What do you care enough to sacrifice for?

What change do you seek to make?

What art do you wish to create?

What actions will you take?

Focus on doing the work. The work, the work, the work.
