I am not a loser or a winner, I am much freer, much deeper, much more present.
Winning or losing has nothing to do with real happiness, more temporary exhilaration or agony of defeat as they say.
Competing has its own rewards and benefits without judgments.
The mindful way knows that the discipline, the exerting beyond tired, holds the gift, not prizes about the result.
The old trophies gather dust after time, almost forgotten, but the journey of determination and all out effort stays until death.
Living fully in this moment, is the reward of our practice, where real lasting happiness flourishes.
Enjoy the wins, feel the sting of a loss, then let go, be at peace with the effort and discipline of this challenge.
Life is a journey, travel well.
