Denials.

Taking a loss with humility, accepting the defeat, acknowledging the failure and staying true to what has happened is what truly makes a winner a champion. That's where the key is. Living in denial about whatever that's happened and succumbing to a fake sense of reality and trying to be right even when we're clearly wrong is what makes a winner a sour loser.

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

It's really easy saying all that. But when it comes to putting the same into actions, its extremely hard. In a period where everyone likes to protect their image, where everyone likes to be the right person to the right people, where everyone likes to be righteous, denial is a very easy answer to all of the problems. Finding every loop hole to blame someone else for what we know is our own mistake is arguably the cheapest way to protect our image, our whatever it is that we are protecting by doing this.

Losing, for some reason, seems to be perceived like it is a bad thing, like it is an embarrassing thing to experience, like it defines who we are as a person. No, it really doesn't do any of that. It can do all of that, but only if we want it to and if we let it. Try falling down gracefully, the next time you fall down. Accept your down-fall, own it, own who you are, and watch yourself become a champion. It really all boils down to humility and gracefulness. It's okay if people start insulting you for your failures, if they start humiliating you. It's not okay if you given in to them. Your value, your worth, comes from way more than your accomplishments and tarnishes. What matters is what you take away from your losses, how much you've learnt from your experiences. Denial only goes to show that you've failed to even experience. Think about it.

With a lot of love, peace.
