How do you keep your hunger and confidence after losing, and falling a lot and especially big falls
Discussion
Discipline not motivation.
“Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
A strong understanding and commitment to your core values and principles.
You’ll never know if something that happened ever was a “loss”. Who’s to say what you thought of as a “loss” today didn’t result in what you think of as a “win” tomorrow?
“We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.”
Would you say you know what your core values and principles are?
In an abstract sense. There are things I firmly believe in and will not budge for. There are things I believe are my “duty” and/or “obligation” to myself, other people, and society at large.
For example, lying. I refuse to lie to someone unless being honest is a threat to my safety or someone else’s safety.
Another example is to be strong and sharp mentally and physically. That is from a respect I have towards myself and an obligation I have to society to be a functioning and productive member that contributes to a better tomorrow.
