I’ve had more than my share of trouble the last couple of years. There’s a plethora of cliche’s available from motivators, religeous leaders and philosophers that pretty much all say life’s more about how you deal with the troubles than about how many of them come your way.
From my view, whether you invite trouble (if you do, it’s time to stop) or it just finds its way to your door, trouble will come. Worse yet, you’ll miss opportunities and you’ll squander some as well. I’m not in possession of any sage wisdom on overcoming obstacles, dodging trouble or seizing every opportunity. In fact, I may be dealing with more of this than I ever have.
I will share one thing that works in that it’s saved me from complete ruin so far. While I hope you’ll best every obstacle, there’s a third way between winning and losing. It’s refusing to give up. No matter how tough things get, don’t pick up the ball and go home. Stay in the game. If you lose the game, demand a rematch. You’re never really beat until you concede.
