So is success. And everything else worthwhile.
If you read the biographies of the most successful people that ever lived, they will tell you that it was when their chips were down they discovered their personal breakthroughs.
They say, to experience real success you must experience failure first. It's the place we learn the steps, the curves and the concept of success and how to put it altogether in a consistent basis. And that only begins when we have the right attitude towards adversities, failures and disappointments.
It reveals to us who we really are, what we are made of.
When your chips are down - don't loose heart, get discouraged or worse - give up! And "don't play the BLAME game."
How we react, respond to adversities and how we bounce back is a major key component.
We have to be mentally fit and strong in order to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves and our future. They say in sports that "it's 80% mental and 20% physical." So it is in the "game of life."
Sow a thought, and you reap an act; Sow an act, and you reap a habit; Sow a habit, and you reap a character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.- Charles Reade
If we allow petty stuff, distractions, frustrations, personal dramas and setbacks no matter how small they are affect us, our journey becomes more challenging. Those "pebbles" on the road becomes huge boulders in our life even though in reality they are just that... "pebbles." We won't go nowhere with our careers, relationships and dreams...
So make a habit of deciding every day not to sweat on the small stuff. Because in reality, they are just that... "small stuff."
And if it so happens that you are having a major crisis, "hang in there." Keep in mind, that all events that happens to us, are there for a good reason. We might not understand them right away, see the value or fairness of what's going on. But know this - It's there to make us better, smarter, wiser.

Refuse to allow negativity in your life....
I understand that there will be times of mourning, of tears, sorrow and pain and loss... That's okay! It's normal to feel those emotions. That's just part of being human. Just don't stay there and dwell too long! It doesn't help. It never does.
The best way to bounce back when you fall from a horse is to pick yourself up and dust yourself off as the song goes... And QUICKLY ride on that horse again.
It's time to move on... Move forward! To harvest, cultivate, to explore new things, ideas and places... New relationships or rekindle some....
And today....
Is your time... to shine....
Focus on what's positive, empowering, energizing...
...not on the limitations , but the possibilities.
If you want better results, have a better attitude....
