You should feel great today and here's why: [View all]
Either we will win big, win barely, or barely lose.
If we end up winning (which, btw, we will) then why would you choose to spend this day feeling crappy?
Your feelings today most certainly will *not* impact the outcome.
If we end up losing (lol, no way), then I assure you, you *will* feel severe pain soon enough--why would you choose to prolong it prematurely??
It's the same way I learned long ago to approach the impending loss of a beloved pet: why spend even one minute mourning them while they still live? It *never, ever* diminishes the eventual pain we suffer when the time inevitably comes, so why add to the burden? (And, I just lost my beloved dog one week ago, so the pain is quite raw atm.) But in decades past, I would bring myself to tears thinking about how awful it will be when my pet passes, and yet it did not soften the blow by any amount, this "pre-mourning" that I would engage in. So it's kind of the same principle.
Today is that one brief window of time where you can CHOOSE to feel good and happy today. If the bottom falls out, I promise you can feel as lousy as you want tomorrow! But for today? Choose happiness. Because, I mean, worst case, it may be the last time in awhile that you can, right? (But no, it won't, because we are *actually* going to win this thing.)
Anyway, that's my pep talk for the day.
