A Thought on the Perniciousness and Persistence of Self-Diminishment

This thought isn't fully formed yet, but I thought I would share it as I start to play with it.

It struck me as interesting how often we use our best moments against ourselves. We'll take a successful moment and then extrapolate from that moment a story of, "Every moment should be like that moment." We then hold it against ourselves when it doesn't work out that way.

We could instead be grateful for that success, and accept that not every single moment will be that way because, hey, we're human. But that's not at all what we do.
