> The better team is the team that finds a way to win - even if it is weird and flukey and doesn't fit a nice narrative. No, that is the narrative. The better team doesn't always win, that's life, but people who want it to be true will say things like "the Cavaliers just wanted it more and found a way to win". Sometimes shit happens and the better team loses, and you need to recognize it as an outlier. Successful people definitely "find a way" more than average, but if you're unable to recognize that sometimes there really is nothing to be done, that's an issue. Your attitude kind of reminds me of the Ron Swanson quote "everything I do is the attitude of an award winner, for I have won an award." The fact that you lost doesn't mean that everything you did was the behavior of a loser. Chance exists, there are no guarantees in life.
