The key to never losing is simple: make progress.

Make progress in work — more specifically, your skill.
Make progress with relationships: professional and personal.
Make progress on your hobby.
Make progress in learning.

Make progress.

Of course, it get’s complicated when prioritizing areas to make progress and the degree of progress relative to change.

Just make progress; you’ll never lose.
