The Result is Just a Bonus

What matters is giving your all
That is the big deal
The hard work that goes into it
Your intellect, your energy, your time
Your resources all put into that goal
Then you earn the right to claim a triumph
No matter what the outcome be

The effort being yours to control
The willpower being yours to command
The result being up to other elements
Why stake your happiness on the results
When you can cheer up every time you give your best?
Celebrate that effort duly sacrificed
No matter what the outcome be

Having completed the work
In which you put your every resource
Having given your all in all
Put that punch into the air
You did your part and that is what counts
Congratulate your amazing self
No matter what the outcome be

Does it fail or does it work?
That is not the question
Did you pump in your every ounce?
That is the question
So long as you gave it your best
It is a win all the same
No matter what the outcome be
