A reminder from Mark Manson: “It’s easy to mess up and spiral into, ‘Screw it, I give up.’ It’s harder—but infinitely more valuable—to say: ‘That didn’t go as planned. I’m still in.’“
Say it when you fall down. Say it when you miss. Say it when you come up short. Say it when you fail. Say it when you get no results. Say it when you’ve slept in…
…I’m still in.
Let it become your daily mantra: I’m still in.
Repeat it until it becomes your new inner dialogue: I’m still in.
Be so flexible in your approach, so resilient in the face of adversity, so relaxed in your pivots and adjustments… that life has no choice but to relent.
When you’re the one who relents… by giving up… of course you don’t win.
But never forget… it’s never really about the outcome, the final score, the destination…
It’s about winning the daily battle… to stay in.
