To lose is to lose, not fail

Guru from Gang Starr once rapped,

"Don't let a win get to your head, or a loss to your heart."

I think one of my greatest vices is I let *every* loss get to my heart and stay there. A lot of people I know tell me I'm an incredibly positive person, but I think that description only applies to half of me, the half I show the world.

I see myself negatively. And like, I think the problem is negativity is addictive. Everyone has things about themselves they don't like and everyone has self-doubt. When you feed that self doubt with the things you don't like about yourself, that doubt turns into self-hate and that's a dangerous thing. It's no longer being honest with yourself, it's hurting yourself.

Here's the positive thing about myself for today: I see positive traits in other people they can't always see in themselves. I deserve to see the same positive things in myself.
