Treating triumph and disaster as imposters
“If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same.” -
This is a quote by Rudyard Kipling that is plastered over the archway in Wimbledon just before the player enters the stadium. I read about this the other day and it totally flips the script. -
To think of both triumph and disaster as imposters is to say that they are not the norm, but to treat them the same is very difficult. Of course we want to shout on the mountain in triumph and punch something in disaster, but how can we treat both imposters the same? -
Compete with yourself. The main reason we are emotional rollercoasters is because we play for other people. So if you change the game and play for yourself, you eliminate the critics. Not to say that they won’t be there, in some cases more than before, but others criticism doesn’t touch you when the only critic you allow is yourself. -
