When You're Stuck Between A Rock & A Hard Place

 

A lot of WHAT IFs in life BUT how about this.  WHAT IF we crash-landed between a huge rock and a hard place.  Sounds like an Armaggedon scenario BUT no sirrrrrs, many of us would, at some points in our life, would have reached the Rubicon and the question you asked yourself was HOW to cross the Rubicon if you were CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE📘📙📗

In life, WHEN we're at a point WHEREIN we look at our situation and see a huge mess, it's best to distance yourself from it and instead, rework things, restart OR even reboot if need be.  WHY will rebooting OR resetting be helpful?  In the NBA, WHEN a ballclub is hugging the cellar, it looks way ahead by anticipating the next year's DRAFT season WHERE they'll look for rough gems💙💛💚

In short, at that point, those desperate NBA ballclubs will start 'tanking' so that they will end up up higher in the totem pole, so that their next DRAFT PICKS will be as higher ranked as possible.  So, WHEN they decide on 'tanking', that ballclub is focused on no less than a REBUILD, a REVAMP, a top-to-bottom overhaul of the team roster💥💥💥

Oh oh YESSSSS, if things are in a total mess, that total cost of REBUILD will be enormous BUT in life, that's the mindset for a ONE TIME-BIG TIME thing WHERE you brace yourself to be absorbing 'sunk costs' that could probably include all your investments in TIME, $$$$$ & especially efforts.  True, it's a heavy headache you've got to endure wading through that situation WHERE you crash-landed between that ROCK and a HARD PLACE❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  Word of caution.  Crash-landing between a ROCK and a HARD PLACE does NOT happen OFTEN.  If at all, it may hit you once OR twice in life [unless you're living a roller-coaster kind of life?].  BTW, it's NEVER fun being in that dilemma but the best mindset is to dictate upon us THAT there is a tomorrow, THAT there will be streaks of sunshine soon [if NOT tomorrow] and THAT you are in a situation WHERE you're down to playing your remaining marbles because there's really NOTHING TO LOSE unless you opt for that self-defeating stance of giving up and raising the white flag, then you LOSE BY DEFAULT, the worst way to lose your fight dude😃😃😃
