“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional”
~ Crawford, Roger
As I often find with words of wisdom, they have a tendency to crop up just when you need to hear them. In this instance, they came in a weeknote by Doug Belshaw.
I’ve recently had to make a very difficult life/work decision that I was not expecting. I can’t talk about it openly yet but suffice to say, sometimes life throws you a bouncer and you have to find a way to play. You can either back away and defend or you can attack, hooking the delivery away for four or six (hopefully). I’ve chosen the latter and, while it’s not without risk, I’m confident that I’ve made the right decision for myself and my family.
After all: “Fortune favours the bold.” (Virgil, Aeneid, 19BC)
