Setbacks

..We all get setbacks in life.

A lot of the cliche's in this world are often true, so here is another one.

'It is not never being knocked down which makes a champion. Far from it. It is the man who gets up from being knocked down, the man who finds inspiration in his darkest hour, the man who trusts on his hope when in the face of hopelessness, the man who gets up from being knocked down. This, my friend, is a real champion.'

How do you respond to a setback? How do you respond to someone spitting in your face, calling you a looser. Someone doing it more subtely, and often more powerfully.

Someone showing their admiration and fondness of you, only to then call it all off. That hurts far more than anything obvious and generic.

'Dig deeper, remember all you've done and all you've left behind.'

And so I will. It's a sprint not a marathon.
