In sports, you often hear the phrase “winning is everything”, but in reality, it is not. The questions you have to answer are:

Am I getting better as a person? And is what I’m doing bringing me and those around me happiness?

The answers will tell you whether or not you’re really winning.

If your mentality is, if it’s not success then it is failure, you’re life will be really really hard.

Success gives us another chance to keep plugging away at what we love to do, that’s all it really easy.

One person’s victory is another person’s defeat. Win or lose, what matters is giving everything you’ve got.

Measure your success by how much you evolve not necessarily how much you win. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and have the balls to say what you feel.

The respect of your peers is the ultimate achievement.

Life doesn’t go as planned, and sometimes you need to pivot, and the path you end up on, can be better than anything you ever imagined.

Your life will go by fast. Give it your all. Stand up for yourself. Stay curious. Be a good citizen of the world. Don’t get crushed by the weight of your own expectations. Know that the real victory in life is a long game.
