Life almost never goes how you envision it will.
Get back up.
Stick the next landing.
Go again.
What’s the point of holding your ground if you aren’t willing to get back up? Someone else will take your space if you don’t. Or, even worse, the space will just be gone, left behind while the bullet train forges ahead.
Keep trying. Don’t let pushback mean giving up.
Surrender to the fact that you can’t control every variable, and try again when you’re pushed down.
