Do It Right

As per usual I was interested to see what the James Clear email held for me this week.
I was really interested to see him say the following. "When you lose a game, the score doesn't transfer to the next contest but your habits certainly will.
Circumstances are temporary. Sometimes you're winning, sometimes you're losing…but your habits travel with you. This is why you want to execute the same way whether the score is 10-0 or 0-10. Not because the score doesn't matter, but because the score isn't what you're actually building.
It's not about winning or losing any given round. It's about doing things the right way. If you have a chance to practice your craft, you want to do it as well as you can (even if you end up losing that day). Your previous reps can save you or betray you. The habits always translate to the next round."
I actually think that is really important.  I am a coach in Table Tennis (that does not mean I am the best, but it does mean I can see and often help someone put into practice what is necessary. I used to see it in young contestants so often.  Doing something right but not winning the point.  I would never worry about that as I knew that if someone did it right then the right results would come.
For me life is very much like that.  Do it right.  It does not matter if I sometimes get it wrong when doing it right, as doing it right will always reap rewards even if it takes practice.
There is no doubt in my mind that outcomes effect outlook.  At times I would say “stupid game” as I would do what I knew to do and still loose.  At other times I would have an unexpected win and hardly be able to wait to play again.
For me it is all about doing it right again and again.  Desirable results come from consistently practicing it right.
