Re-telecast your victories!

India lost to England in the 2022 T20 World Cup Semi-finals by 10 wickets.   That's probably a very soft way of saying what happened in the match - Indian bowlers were clueless and was thrashed all over the park.  This is one of the days in Indian cricket the players and the fans would want to forget in life.  There was one other day where India lost to Pakistan in the same margin.

Having said the above, India is still a good team and is the No.1 Team in T20 Ranking winning 120 of 187 matches they played.  The Sports channel proves this.  You would see the repeat of all the "fantastic" victories India had when there are no major tournaments happening - and at the other end, you won't see any matches being re-telecasted if there was any such defeat like that semifinals.  This gives the audience the feeling that India is a great team - which it is and they can never lose.  These defeats doesn't even stay in our minds more than a day - we get along with life.

How I wish we can do this to our lives, instead of harping on the things where we failed, crying about the relationship which dint work out, feeling bad about times where we were not on par - we start to celebrate things which we did successfully, go through in our mind where we did wonderfully, re-live the moments where we did "fantastically".

Life is a rollercoaster and it's bound to give you ups and downs.  Let's start forgetting the failures and take up only the lessons from it and move on with life.

You are as fantastic as the Indian Cricket Team!
