Some of your losses were bad luck. Just make sure you’re not filing bad choices in that folder too.

Luck is real, and it also makes an excellent hiding place. Some things genuinely were outside your control, which means the category exists and is useful, and that is exactly why it is tempting to put a few decisions in there as well. Once a choice is filed under bad luck, it stops getting reviewed.

Take your last three disappointments and sort them honestly into what happened to you and what you did. Expect the second pile to be bigger than you want. Only that pile has anything in it you can work on.
