You Care Only If You Lose

I have seen this enough times that it’s interesting how humans function. And I don’t want me to fall into this trap.

Lets say you go to a dance battle. You know the judges, format and other dancers. You dance your heart out. You feel like you have given the best performance of your lifetime. The other dancers seem okay. And then you are eliminated in the first round

That hurts. And then in your mind, you blame the judges. You try to come up with all different reasons why you were wrongly eliminated. But the simple reason that you need to improve upon your craft doesn’t come up.

This happens in many competitions especially when there is some subjectivity involved.

The alternative thinking is better. If you sense a bad vibe then don’t participate. There are many other similar competitions for you to show your talent. And if you do participate and lose, introspect within.

The world isn’t trying to stop you or conspiring against you. Chill and keep working on your craft.
