Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you hoped it would. Sometimes those setbacks are minor…other times they’re quite significant. My race last weekend didn’t turn out the way I thought or hoped it would. And while it wasn’t on the same level as losing a job or losing a loved one, it still stung and it has still been a challenge to process. Furthermore, the principles for dealing with disappointments are, in principle, the same whether we would consider them “big” or “small”. This means I have both the opportunity to practice those principles in a moment like this, as well as an opportunity to share those principles with you as I apply them in real time by recording this post-race episode. I hope you find it helpful.
