Don’t drown.
In life, falling into the water of failure is an inevitable reality that no one can truly avoid. But I’ve learned that the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is not the avoidance of these moments; it is how they choose to respond to them.
When you experience a setback, you have a choice: you can allow it to pull you under, or you can practice the 24 hour rule. Give yourself one day to experience the agony of defeat as deeply as possible, but once those 24 hours have passed, you must put it behind you and focus your energy on the next opportunity.
