Perspective is king - -

When I hit my 2 or 3 outer, "I still had outs til the river!" - - when I don't, "that's poker"

When my hand holds up, "What does he expect? He only had a 3 outer!!!!" - - when it doesn't, "how can he possibly make that call?!?!?"

Sometimes I'm ahead, sometimes I'm behind, but I make $$ (ideally) by forcing villain to overpay for my cards when he really needs to be folding.
