Victory is not decided by the trophy you hold but by the battle you choose to fight. Real strength lies in making the right decisions, staying true to your deepest values, and refusing to be ruled by fear or circumstances. When your actions arise from clarity rather than ambition, the outcome loses its power over you. The moment you choose the right path, you have already won.

Acharya Prashant: As a spectator, you would mind who held the trophy. No? And only one of the two parties is now carrying the trophy. So you would say, "Oh, well, Nadal won and Federer lost."
But ask them who have just, you know, played a five-setter that extended up to six hours, seven hours. Ask them, and they say, "Well, this is my unforgettable match. I do not remember who won and who lost. That is something I won't remember, and the match I cannot forget."
That's the way live life. Live it so intensely that in the end you are left with no energy to be concerned with the result.
And that does not mean that you will necessarily meet defeat. Sometimes there is victory; sometimes there is defeat. But that is not the point. The point is how you have played the game. And play it with all your might. It raises you like anything. It raises you to enter a bigger game, a higher game. And that's the game.
