Day 185
Nothing is free. We will face situations where we are outmatched by the adversity we are facing. Preparation is our best practice in defense of adveristy. When facing adversity, how we respond will define us. Is our approach to the confrontation allowing us to learn and get stronger or have we submitted to failure without a struggle?
General Douglas MacArthur once said, and these words are engraved on a wall at the West Point Gymnasium:
"Upon the fields of friendly fire
are sown the seeds
that, upon other fields, on other days,
will bear the fruits of victory."
are sown the seeds
that, upon other fields, on other days,
will bear the fruits of victory."
