A runner doesn't just show up and win a race. She trains long and hard. Do you just show up every day and hope to win?
From The Greatness Guide: "your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life."
A time of no challenges and problems is a time of no advancement and growth
the time to do your personal best practices is not only when things are going as planned but also when every thing's falling apart
Hard work is the opening act for a headliner called Success
Things that don't go as planned are not "failures". The are all "instruction".

"What is the value of God? Of life? Of truth? Of love? Value is not the name for it. Purpose is not the name for it. God has no value. Life has no value. Truth has no value. Love has no value. They are invaluable. Value makes something a commodity, things that exist for something. God. Love. Life. Truth, they are valueless, because it is the ultimate value. Beyond it nothing exists." - OSHO.

And never mix up your right foot with your left." - Dr. Seuss, "Oh The Places You'll Go."
"Thank goodness for all of the things you are not! Thank goodness you are not something someone forgot, and left alone in some punkerish place like a rusty tin coat hanger hanging in space.

Some critters are much-much, oh ever so much-much, so muchly much-much more unlucky than you!" - Dr Seuss, "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?"

Marcus Aurelius - Book 12. 26.
To be angry at something means you've forgotten:
-that everything that happens is natural.
- that the responsibility is theirs, not ours.
And further...
That whatever happens has always happened, and always will, and is happening at this very moment, everywhere. Just like this.
What links one human being to all humans: not blood, or birth, but mind.
And...
That an individual's mind is God and of God.
That nothing belongs to anyone. Children, body, life itself, - all of them come from that same source.
That it's all how you choose to see things.
That the present is all we have to live in. Or to lose.
