"No, life isn't just about being tough and hard and all that shit but, I will tell you this.... we are doing people zero favors by not teaching adversity, failure, and, just flat out how brutal life can be on all levels! We teach people how to read, write, be respectful, etc. We have to be taught everything so we can succeed in life! So, what the fuck are we teaching people by making everyone a winner?
While your parents should tell you that you can do anything with hard work and dedication, there is a fucking caveat to that shit! Once you get out of your super protective life and enter the harsh reality of life, you will find out real fast that we all can't win!
Yes, we must teach failing, falling flat on your face, and everything in between. A lot of people don't even know how to act when they hear “no” or they don’t get what they want. We jump right to “it’s not fair” or “they are racist,” or “they don't like me because I'm transgender” or whatever you might be. While that might be true as shit, it might not be either!!!!!! You just might not be good enough! That's also a fucking option!!! When you are taught at a young age that life isn't handed over to you, you learn to step back and reassess the situation so that you can attack again. Don't fall doom to the "someone doesn't like me" excuse because you weren't taught adversity at all levels of life.
Today give thanks that years ago when you fell down in life some motherfucker looked at you and said “get the fuck up!” It is truly one of the best lessons you can teach someone! #stayhard " - David Goggins
