Only the power you give them

# Chapter 112

Things are tough for many people in the world right now. Tougher than they can ever remember. Coronavirus world is here to stay for the foreseeable future and it has greatly complexified many people’s lives. This feels like a defeat for most people. But defeats, like viruses, are temporary. They will eventually pass and their effects will only be in your memories. Ok those may be strong and powerful memories, but they are still only memories. They only have the influence you give them.

But many people equate defeat with a finality that confuses me, and its almost like the feelings that people have about COVID-19, and the conspiracies they have about it, gives these matters a life that they don’t deserve. This is not the end of your life, nor your opportunities, nor your future, nor your potential, nor your possibilities. These are temporary.

Quitting and giving up, now that can be a permanent action. Those can be final choices. This can be game over when you make these choices. Everything is possible to recover from except these actions. I strongly urge you to never give up, to never quit. These decisions have a finality to them that defeats and viruses don’t. Losing a game is not a losing season. Getting the flu or the coronavirus is not fatal for most people.

Don’t ever give up.
