“All is lost.”
Could there be a more depressing phrase in all the world? I think not. It epitomizes the ultimate in defeatism. It’s literally the realization that you no longer have choices and somehow are required to give up.
Well I think that’ s a bunch of crap.
Options
We’ve all had our fair share of challenging moments in life. Whether we were under tremendous pressure at work and made an untimely mistake. Or tried to balance too much at home and it all got to be too much to handle at that time. We’ve all at one time or another had the urge to use the phrase “all is lost.”
But it wasn’t, was it? Once you collected your thoughts, took a breath, and realized you had to keep marching, you identified your options and took one.
That’s not crap, that’s showing a level of maturity when under extreme pressure.
Better Than You Think
