A wrestling coach of mine once told me and Im paraphrasing "if you wouldn't let someone punch you in the face then why would you let them take you down like this?"

Alot of times when we show up to the meeting or a big event where we need to perform were not going to allow ourselves to fall flat on our faces. This is where this analogy takes place.

Producing this content has been so consistent for me because of the simple reason of this. Purpose. As long as we have even one person to keep us going. One person reaching out letting us know were appreciated. That can be the thing that gives us a reason to keep pushing. Remember that for others when you get something positive from someone's actions.
