Life comes at you fast. At some point in your life.....you gonn catch a major L. You won’t anticipate it....but it’ll happen.

How you react to it will determine the type of man you are.

Now I take a lot of life lessons from sport.....

The endurance, patience, wins and loses,strength....it’s all in sport.

Life’s L is like a knock out in boxing. You don’t anticipate....but when it hits you going on your knees or back....now fellas pay attention

When you hit the canvas the fight is not over. The ref starts counting.

Again this is where your reaction to an L determines who you are

The first rookie mistake dudes make when they knocked out is try get up too early. You still lite on the feet and your balance is off

The minute the ref lets the fight continue.....you catching another knock out and this time you won’t get up.

Count 1-6 is your “get your mind right” period. Assess your condition. Come to peace with the fact that you got knocked out....

When you good.....then you get up.

Get your mind right my nig. Denial don’t help nothing but make shit worse

Now count 7-9 is a tricky period. That’s when you’ve stayed down too long.

You get up at 9..... ref still calling the fight off.

You need to know when it’s time to dust your self off and not dwell too much in self pity. That shit cripples you

It’s all a balance. Too early cos of pride....you get knocked out. Too late cos of self pity or doubt, fight still gets called off
