Can you take a punch?
From Every Blow, a Lesson; From Every Fall, Growth
Happy new month. Rah, October already!
What a year we’ve had and how complex life gets as we get deeper. I was reasoning with a friend of mine and he said he didn’t know that where he was at that time was his peak and if he did he would have cherished that season more and moved differently.
When Anthony Joshua had beaten Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Povetkin and had 4 world heavy weight titles critics had said “Yeah, but can he take a punch?”
I’m very spiritual about these things because there are universal laws that have always stood the test of time no matter how new things appear.
It builds character
Teaches you about yourself
And reminds you that the market giveth & taketh
Take multiple swings, Play long games, Set sail
