So it's like I can equate it to like being in a boxing match.

You're in a boxing match with the world, and if you think you're getting into a boxing match and nobody's going to throw a punch at you, well, that's just insanity.

You are going to get punches thrown at you in the world.

And what I have learned as I begin to study and read a little bit about boxing, which has been fun to do, it's something I don't know a lot about.

I don't really follow it.

I mean, I know Tyson and Muhammad Ali, but I don't know the science of it.

I started reading some books on that.

Some of the most successful fighters and trainers, it's because they learn how to take a punch.

Not necessarily avoid a punch.

They teach you how to dodge and move, but nobody ever says you're not going to avoid every punch.

And so how you absorb a punch, you actually have to think about it.

You have to be prepared.

It's something you train about, how to take a punch, how to be absorbing of something.

And so what I look at now is I try to take it as an absorbing of some experience, right?

And so when negative comes at me and it does, man, I get knocked down.

I'm

I'm in a season now where I've got some stuff going on that it would be easy for me to just say, this isn't right, this isn't fair.

God, why are you doing this?

Like that all exists in my life right this very moment.

But I just, when you know it's coming, it's not that I live in fear of when it's going to happen, like when's the other shoe going to drop, but I just kind of accept the fact that there's going to be something coming in my life.
