There are more ways to win than there is to lose. If you are aware of these ways to lose then you can avoid them.
Growing up I was taught, “Winners never quit and quitter never win.”
This is the only way you can lose. If you quit then you are sure to lose. Quitting is not an option for a winner. If you give yourself an out then you will take it. If you are committed then you will find a way to win
All of your worst nightmares will come true. You will be embarrassed and will want to quit. You will wonder why you even wanted to go down this path in the first place. You are going to be made fun of. You are going to have people not like you. There is going to be critics telling you to quit. There is going to be competition that is smarter and better than you. You will fall in the mud and feel like things cannot possibly get any worse. You will hit rock bottom.
Is any of this going to change who you are? Are you going to let any of this discourage you? How are you going to react when this happens?
Adversity is a part of life. Most of the bad things we stress about never happen. We cannot avoid all the bad things and when they do happen we use those to make us stronger.
