Get Up Again

Get Up Again

Get up again.

I’ll say it again if I need to.

Get up again.

  • Business going under?  Find a job and start another business on the side.
  • Divorcing?  Don’t give up. And if you do, don’t let it break you.
  • Kids no longer want a relationship?  Never stop loving them, ever.
  • Loose your job?  Find a routine, make something of your own, and go find a new one.
  • Sick?  Never let it touch your soul. Never let it break your hope.
  • Depressed?  Volunteer. Exercise. Be involved in others lives. Live outside yourself.

Navy Seal, Eric Greitens wrote the book on it.

I don’t care if you get flattened a thousand times. As long as you get up that thousand-and-first time, you win. As Hemingway said, “You can never tell the quality of a bullfighter until that bullfighter has been gored.”

-Jerry Weintraub and Rich Cohen, When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead (Amazon)
