Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn The truth is, life doesn't hand out trophies. It hands out mirrors. When things go right, you see what you're capable of. When they don't, you see what still needs healing. Both matter. You learn more from falling than from applause. You find more of yourself in the silence after it all falls apart than in the noise of getting what you wanted. Winning feels good. Losing makes you real. And being real will take you further than winning ever could.
