You are only deceiving yourself..
Be honest with yourself and be honest on IG. People are smarter than you think. When untruths are sniffed out, they begin to talk behind your back.
Post the division you actually won. If it’s Master or Intermediate, it’s still impressive.
If you compete in multiple divisions, avoid the temptation of posting highlights of your Advanced division matches that you lost in, but then posting the picture of you on the podium from the Intermediate division you won.
After an unsuccessful run in your division, avoid posting about your injuries. It takes away from your opponents’ victory and casts doubt on your decision to compete. Additionally, absolutely zero people actually care about your hurt knee or sore back.
Honesty compounds like interest in a bank account. It might feel risky or painful in the moment, but it creates a life of stronger relationships, clearer mind, real confidence, and lasting success.
The ancient wisdom holds up: “The truth shall set you free.”
