Again - and again

The way you recover affects the way you play.

That's the saying used on a recent Gatorade commercial.  It shows two pro football players in a hot tub drinking Gatorade soothing their aches and pains after a game.   At the end, the two players are silent and the narrator gives the saying.

It's true in football.  A person has to learn to mend the right way or the muscles, tendons, and organs keep giving way in game situations.  That's why proper protocols and regimens are followed.

It's true in everyday living, too.  A person has to learn so many lessons on their journey that a person has to develop strategies for setbacks.  Sometimes credit gets destroyed.  Sometimes marriages fail.  For some, dreams for education get tabled.  For others, disease strikes.  Many reasons exist such as job loss, death, family censorship, bad business relationships, bad friendships, bad economy, arrogance, sabotage, and many other life situations.  Therefore, the strategy for bouncing back becomes paramount.

No bounce-back, no quality of life.  Rising from
the ashes, great respect from yourself and others around you.
