How do you let go when you are feeling defeated? When you are at a loss, when you feel as though you have jumped hurdle after hurdle and still come away without a win, how do you let it go? As I explored last week, whether you are a winner or a loser in a given situation, accepting it with bitterness or grace makes a tremendous difference in what will come next.
