We can’t just wake up and lay in the bed all day. We can’t wake up in a bad mood and just sit there. We can’t get into a funk and simply allow ourselves to just wallow in it. We can’t play around with life. We can’t sit around feeling sorry for ourselves because things didn’t work out the way we wanted them to, or because we didn’t get what we thought we would get. Tough luck. Get up off your ass and get back to work. When you’re down it is NOT the time to stop fighting. That is NOT the time to relax. That’s the time to take a quick step back so that you can see the bigger picture, then immediately start putting in max work, start putting in max effort. That’s the time for you to elevate your grind, for you to push your work rate to its limits.
