“””You might have lost some major battles, but you survived and you’re still here.”” Paulo Coelho
Boy, sometimes it all comes down to this. That you’re still here. My acting coach Milton Katselas used to say “”The one who gets up from the mat the most times, wins.”” Most people give up way too soon, when victory could be just over the next little hill. So go ahead and cry for five minutes – you’ve earned it. But only five minutes. Then find some glimmer of humor in the situation and laugh at yourself – even if you’re laughing through tears. It will cleanse and heal your spirit. Now blow your nose, dust yourself off and GET UP. Take stock of what happened and squeeze the lesson out of it so you don’t repeat it. Got it? Good. Stand tall, revel in your new strength, and get ready to fight again for what you want. It’s not over til you say it’s over! Look up and focus on that next little hill. It’s not so big, is it? You can do this!
Remember what astronaut Chuck Yaeger said: “Just before you break through the sound barrier the cockpit shakes the most.” If it’s been shaky lately, you’re probably getting very close to your breakthrough! So smile, take a deep breath, and TRY AGAIN!
