There is much wisdom behind the idea of ignoring the losses and making firm the wins of the past while increasing knowledge and building skills for the future. You cannot build a character while tearing it down. This is a post from Facebook.
A warrior has one true friend. Only one man he can rely on. Himself. So he feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks skill, he practices. Where he lacks knowledge, he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.
Do not speak badly of yourself, for the warrior that is inside you hears your words and is lessened by them. You are strong and you are brave. There is nobility of spirit within you. Let it grow. David Gemmel
