GIVE UP OR KEEP TRYING?

We all face setbacks. And they affect everyone differently. When I was younger, certain setbacks or rejections would fuel my productivity and drive, making me stronger and more determined to succeed. As you get older and face more knock-backs, it gets harder and harder to overcome them. Sometimes instead of being more driven to succeed, you have to calibrate expectations and determine what the best response is and what, if anything, you can do to overcome it.

Recently, I had multiple set backs in my career with opportunities, and I lost the drive and focus to succeed in my goals like I used to. Age and time will do that. I have chosen instead to calibrate and temper my expectations and go back to the drawing board to see what I can do to move forward. I want to do creative things in the space I create for myself. I need to keep trying. Thats what I did. I did not stay down and wallow in my losses. You gotta get back up. I mean, what are the other options, right? It's not like I can go to law school again.
