this life is a series of bouts.
endless one. which is exciting if you think about it.
we do not always win.
inevitably we will lose.
and it sucks to lose. but here's the thing.
we do not have to win all the fights.
in fact..
we do not have to fight all the fights.
in obsessing over the trivial losses
(and most of them are trivial in the end)..
we lose our focus on the few fights that really matter
(only a few of them really matter in the end)
all it takes is that one clean hit.
the only thing i have in mind is that one strike.
there is only one fight that matters at one time.
that is the present.
you may have lost countless bouts before.
but this one fight, this one win- it can change everything.
and after that.. you start all over again.
because there are still thousands bouts awaiting you.
