Choose How You Win or Lose
You get to choose how you handle a win or a loss.
Trump is a sore loser.
He doesn’t lose, as far as he is concerned. Never mind that both the popular vote and electoral vote are not in his favor — he’s a winner. So, if his supporters start some shit and he is the cause of a constitutional crisis via his obstinance and unsupportable claims of fraud — it’s not on him, right?
He is choosing to be a sore loser. And because he’s never bothered to respect the office, he doesn’t care how unbecoming his actions are.
Oh, and the rest of the party still supporting his BS? Don’t forget these people — because they clearly don’t care about the legitimacy of our democratic process, either.
Now then, before this turns into a giant political rant let’s get back on topic. You get to choose how you win or lose.
Some people are gracious in victory or defeat. Others show contempt and spite in victory or defeat.
Your attitude towards a win or a loss matters. Why? Because it is a direct reflection of your character. Some people disregard and discount this — but when you seek to be an influencer or good example, how you choose to win or lose is important.
