Defeat

Defeats are difficult to digest. Some more than the others. And sometimes none of the stress busters help. Sometimes it takes a while to even realize that the defeat is real and you are not going to wake up from it. Your subconscious tries to tell you that it's just a bad dream. And that the dawn is coming. But when you do realize it and have to face the world around you, that is when you need to be at your strongest.

You should not care about what people would say. Only you know what it takes to win and only you know that you did all that was possible. In these desperate times, you get to know people who actually belong to you. Who actually care.

Make peace with the defeat as soon as possible. This time is not for grief but for introspection. To regroup and to fill in for the lacunae. There is this feeling inside you which tells you that you can do this. You should not let this very feeling wither away. Rather amplify it. Feed on it.  Let it drive you.  And it will take you places.

And I know it's a big cliche but it's equally true, there is always next time. This wasn't the last strike.

You aimed for stars and they teased you by jumping another level high. This cannot be termed as defeat. In the years to come, this will be called as a foundation stone for success. Easier said than done but since when you have started thinking of easy choices.
Go on full throttle swaps!!
