Losing

they say losing depends on how the person perceives it. how you handle it. when you take it and learn from it, no matter if you win or lose. the only difference in winning and losing is in how the outside world treats you.

when you win you can find joy
Alma 29:16 Now, when I think of the success of these my brethren my soul is carried away, even to the separation of it from the body, as it were, so great is my joy.

when you lose you can find joy
2 Nephi 2:25 Adam fell that men might be; and men care, that they might have joy.

when you lose its good to remember the ultimate goal
D&C 31:9 Be patient in afflictions, revile not against those that revile. Govern your house in meekness, and be steadfast.

when you win its good to remember the ultimate goal
Jacob 2:13 And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly, that you have obtained many riches; and because some of you have obtained more abundantly than that of your brethren ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness of your apparel, and persecute your brethren because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

As of tonight i feel like i lost my best friend in the world. i feel so very alone. but with a lose or win there is always one way to lean.
