Life Comes At You FAST

Life Comes At You FAST

In 1880, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt wrote to his brother "MY HAPPINESS IS SO GREAT THAT IT MAKES ME ALMOST AFRAID".  From the time he got married, wrote a book, attended law school and won his first public office, that STREAK continued even WHEN his first daughter was born.  BUT two days later, is wife died and hours earlier, his mother died.  In his diary, he marked a Big 'X' in his diary and wrote "THE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT OF MY LIFE".  Sadly, Life Comes At You FAST📗📙📘

YES, very very true, as they say, LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST.  It can change in an instant.  Everything you built, everyone you hold dear, can be taken from you.  And for absolutely NO REASON.  [Knock on wood] Just as easily, you can be taken away from them too.  SO WHAT?  That's where STOICSM comes into this thread as STOICS continue to remind us that we need to be CONSTANTLY prepared for every single twist and turn in our fortunes💧💧💧

To swing from my kind of 'Nostradamus' mode now, we are always reminded that much as light flickers off, anytime that light can come back.  With President Roosevelt, after that spate of personal tragedies, that light didn't get extinguished permanently.  He became a great father, a great husband and a great leader of the United States.  BTW, this narrative is NOT just factually for President Roosevelt.  Looking back the past years of our own lives, surely you will come to that same realization, those TWISTS & TURNS in our life.  And BTW, that permeates any aspect of our lives, be it our own personal family life, our work life, our entrepreneurial life and even our social life💦💦💦

So WHAT GIVES?  Any day, anytime, AS IN anytime, LIFE COMES AT US FAST.  Those UPs and DOWNs.  Today.  Tomorrow.  And if there's anything that stands out, those UPs and DOWNs may pop-up WHEN we least expect it, especially those downturns, WHEN we quickly spin down deep south pretty fast.  And this is WHERE resilience gets into the picture as we need to develop and reinforce that attribute as we continue to anticipate any twist and downturn.  Much akin to the weather, the sun could be shining and dandy now BUT that DOESN'T get guaranteed forever❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Even in the NBA world, things are harsher than it seems.  Today [and maybe for the past months], a hoopster is playing hoops at an A-level NOT UNTIL he gets injured, and gets sidelined indefinitely even as that downtime extends to months and even spills over to the next calendar year.  DON'T look farther.  We can be this healthy today BUT GOD knows.  We can only hope and pray that we remain this healthy through the farthest and longet stretches of our life because one day, YES dude, LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST💥💥💥
