Don’t fall into the trap of “resulting.” Just because a certain outcome occurred does not mean that the decisions leading up to that outcome were correct. Don’t forget that luck, whether good or bad, often plays a factor in the result. It is important to understand the difference between your thought process/the actions you take and the result of those thoughts/actions.
Taking correct actions will lead to positive results more often than not. But taking the right actions does not guarantee success.
A common example is playing a bad hand at poker. You may have a low chance of winning the hand when the cards were initially dealt, but with a little luck, you may end up catching the card you needed to win on the River. This is what poker players refer to as “bad beats.” The end result was positive for you – you won the hand. But that doesn’t mean that you played the hand correctly/took the right actions.
If you focused only on the result of the hand, you would conclude that you should always play when you have that starting hand. You could go on, continuing to play those poor cards with a low probability of winning just because you won with them once (not taking luck into account). But if you don’t conflate your actions with results, you will end up better off in the long run.
