I recognized it right away, like, oh, this is a really good couple of weeks for me. So I stayed present. I was grateful in the moment and I didn't set expectations that this winning streak of mine was going to continue forever. But you'll notice I use the word okay, because I think I just do okay. The best I can do is okay when things are good.
