The Third Path

Sports constantly shares lessons with us. Exhilarating wins and discouraging defeats drive emotional responses. 

Path 1: Thrill of victory - excitement and confidence

Path 2: Agony of defeat - frustration and depression

Emotion indulges us. Allow that...overnight. 

Choose the third path, "chop wood, carry water." Joshua Medcalf's "Chop Wood, Carry Water" shares a powerful allegory of personal growth through a principled life. 

Excerpt:

"Everyone wants to be great, until it's time to do what greatness requires...your greatest challenge during your time here will be faithfully keeping your focus on the process, while surrendering the outcome." 

Nobody feels sorry for MVB. And even if they did, how does that craft your response? Don't be a prisoner of emotion. 

Chop wood, carry water.
