Only the best.
When they lose, only the best know how to win again.
There are only so many ways to respond to pain.
The physical kind; you beat it, you bear it or you give up.
(Heartbreak, not so easy. There is no cure for that, but time.)
Some people have been hurt enough in life already. Sometimes, there is no predicting when bad things will happen.
That's why I tell My Boys that whoever told you life was fair, lied to you!
It makes you wonder how some people keep starting over.
How they find that happy place again. That's a skill that deserves admiration.
The kind of person who knows that things will never be the same, who loved how things were, yet still moves on to the next thing without losing who they are. The disappointment of the loss is still there, but they don't stay beaten.
I like the story that tells of someone getting on the wrong plane heading for Holland, when they thought they were heading for Paris. They could be stuck wishing for what they don't have, or they can check out the new place they are in and see that Holland can be amazing too!
Sometimes we get on the wrong plane without realizing it. It doesn't mean where we end up, isn't going to be a wonderful place!
