Losing sucks. If you’re anything like me, it’s hard not to take it personally when it happens.

Whether it’s in a video game, at work, in sports, or anything else, when you lose in life, it feels like it’s always something we have done wrong. Something you could have done better, something that someone else may be better than you at, or something you feel like you aren’t able to get better at.

I wanted to share my new perspective on losing that I have recently gained from reading a book that a friend gave me.

My whole life I hated losing more than I loved winning.

Now I love to win, and can learn from losing and fail forward.
