Own the outcome, good or bad. Taking credit only for wins makes you a fan, not a player.

Claiming only the wins makes you a spectator of your own life, because everything else becomes something that merely happened to you. The uncomfortable version, where the loss is yours too, is what gives the wins any weight, since the same person was steering in both cases. People notice the difference right away.

After the next thing that goes badly, say the plain sentence before anybody else can. Skip the reasons, even the true ones, at least for the first day. Circumstances can be discussed later, once it is clear you are not hiding behind them.
