You start a football match, put on your shorts, tie your shoes. Feet hitting ground, wind hitting face, sweat hitting grass. You are down 0-2. The whistle sounds. You’ve lost. You lay down on the ground. All that hard work for nothing.
A teammate reaches out their hand to you. “Get up, 2nd half is starting in 10 minutes!” You get up and play again. You’re down 0-4. The whistle sounds. You’ve lost. You lay down on the ground. All that hard work for nothing.
A teammate reaches out their hand to you. “Get up, the next match is in 2 hours!” You lose 0-4. You lay down on the ground. All that hard work for nothing.
A teammate reaches out their hand to you. “Get up, the next tournament is in 14 days!” …
You only lose when time is called. In life, time is called only at death. Until then, you can’t lose. Instead broaden your horizon and find the next match.
