Its Not Over Until We Decide It Is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor…Germans? Yes one of the greatest movie lines of all time from the movie Animal House. This line actually rings true in real life. It is never over until we decide it is. Life can be a real bear at times. There are times we want to quit, and there are times we want to give up, but in the end nothing is ever over until we decide it is.
This means that we have control over whether we quit or push on. No one said success is easy. You will never find me saying that on this site. Success is never easy. It takes a lot of determination, a lot of commitment, and a lot of fight. The ability to fight through tough times and failure starts with our mental disposition. How is your mental toughness?
