button mashing
Losing to your opponent is one thing. Not adapting to their constant victories is another. Much time can pass without realizing skills you could have practiced. Look at what they're doing, then change your behavior. You shouldn't expect a different result from something so out of your control. Luck can only be so reliable.
How often do you mash the same button in your life? This principle holds whether for video game moves, messages, or everyday actions. You control yourself as much as your repertoire of next steps. Building it is a skill to develop alongside picking your next step. Learning immerses the self in connecting novel discoveries, not mere reactions.
When the same button fulfills your wants, continue course. What better way to cultivate fulfillment than doing what works? Every loudmouth can gossip about their latest epiphany. But you're in your shoes, not theirs.
It can be different if your opponent isn't adapting, but you're not losing. Boredom can strike when you least expect it. Capitalizing on the opportunity makes sense for certain times and places. You can inspire them by your headway and uplift them to your level. Although, you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Improve for your own sake. Appreciate its residual effects on people that value its efficacy. If your crowd doesn't value your growth, find one that does.
Belief in adaptation and victory helps manifests both. Let the practice you put in and the milestones you surpassed inform your belief. If you don't believe in yourself, there lies another opportunity to adapt. Achievements are impossible until proven possible. Spamming button presses, reps, or anything else doesn't matter. What matters is the journey. What matters is the result. What matters is the big picture, which coalesces all the journeys.
Overcoming life's challenges is the only way through.
