Hello All,

A wise philosopher once said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." So, you did not win the race. What is next?

Just because you were not first, does not mean your racing days are over. The truth is getting punched in the mouth was not your choice, but what you do next is your choice.

So, after getting hit, you need to understand one thing. The pain of not being the best is not a label, but it is your teacher. Pain shows you that something is wrong. Start looking a pain as a starting point of a newly discovered journey.

Also, your new racing plan needs to deal with right now reality. You are not going to win every race. Come up with a new plan, goal, or construct about your racing. Or better stated, stop getting punched in the face.

And while that wise philosopher (Mike Tyson) went on to lose that fight to Holyfield in the 11th round by TKO while trying to bite off his ear, the moral of the story is as follows:

Racing will have its ups and downs, what you do next determines who gets punched in the mouth next.

Have fun,
Dr. M
