We just want to quit trying because it seems nothing is going right. This happened to me in the 2025 Vol State race. Absolutely nothing was going right. I wanted to quit and I tried but the Meat Wagon Lady wouldn’t let me. So I had to keep going. I encountered more defeats in that one race than I ever had in my life. But because of her instincts and intuition I had to continue (yes some of it was being stubborn and wanting to say “I told you so” but that never happened). As such I was never defeated and I finished the race. Look at Thomas Edison and his inventing the light bulb – was it 13,000 or 14,000 times he tried and “failed?” He didn’t let all those defeats become his ultimate reality – total defeat. He kept on and we should too. It would be fun if instead of the routine emojis that people use they adopt a light bulb to use when they are trying to encourage someone to keep on going. That could then remind the person they are trying to encourage someone that had had a bad time to keep on going. Maybe even print out a light bulb and hang it around your house to remind you that a few defeats does not mean you’re defeated.
