I've got some simple advice for you.
When you're having a bad day, stop doing whatever is making it bad.
I'm dead serious. When we have a job we don't like, or get in an argument with someone, or perform badly at something; the tendency is to dwell on it. Thinking about it is useful. We learn from that. Dwelling on it is not. It continues to defeat us.
It reminds me of a quote from former North Carolina Basketball Coach Dean Smith:
"What to do with a mistake: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it" - Dean Smith, 2-Time National Champion Coach
Read it again. This is so true. Some people use the acronym R.A.L.F. (Recognize--Admit--Learn--Forget).
Why is this important for me? We all get into funks, have defeats, suffer setbacks, etc. GET EXCITED ABOUT THEM BECAUSE IT IS IN THESE MOMENTS YOU SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THE PACK. Keep your head up, and walk tallest when most would feel the lowest. It is a huge separator. A man who needs no introduction may have said it best:
Use the fuel. Find a way to make it improve you, and go win your day.
Ps - guess who Michael Jordan's college coach was? Yep, Dean Smith.
