Life can be so overwhelming sometimes, but there's really only 7 lessons that are important to remember.

According to Neil Gaiman, “Sometimes you wake up, sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.” We have all taken that fall but the difference is obvious. The choice of whether you stay down or rise and fly depends upon your ambition to succeed. We are each in charge of our own destiny and our individual drive will determine the heights we will reach. As Bill Murray suggested, “Whatever you do, always give 100%, Unless you’re donating blood.”

Imagine it’s currently 6:03 am in the middle of June, and you're laying in bed not ready for the early morning weights at 6:30 am. You lay there not really sure whether you're awake or not and still in the same clothes from the night before. You forgot to take your contacts out too because, just about 3 hours ago, you were getting carried in Call of Duty Warzone with the boys. Relatable, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

To fail or not to fail? That is a pretty big question- one that we are asked frequently in one way or another. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines failure as simply “a lack of success”. If you were coach Bubak, you might define it as “not driving the car”, or if you were Mr. Auwerda, you might define failure as receiving a “that’s pretty neat” stamp on one of his physics quizzes. Regardless of the definition, we have without a doubt experienced failure in our lives and have been forced to decide whether to fail or not to fail.
