I play an online scrabble game against the computer. After I’ve played my move I can check if I did the best move possible. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn’t. But I almost always try to do the best move I can. And when I don’t try enough, it’s not for lack of trying.

Even when I try hard though, and even when I make the best moves possible, the computer still wins sometimes. Because the computer sometimes has Better Letters than me. And all the best moves.

There are things that we control in life. And many things we can’t.

So be kind to yourself.
