Every negative situation contains the possibility for something positive, an opportunity. It is how you look at it that matters. Your lack of resources can be an advantage, forcing you to be more inventive with the little that you have. Losing a battle can allow you to frame yourself as the sympathetic underdog.

Do not let fears make you wait for a better moment or become conservative. If there are circumstances you cannot control, make the best of them. It is the ultimate alchemy to transform all such negatives into advantages and power.

It's the ulitmate flex to overcome the "impossible" and prove your doubter's wrong. This is how you must think. You must salivate at the idea of glory.

You must learn to turn lemons into lemonade. Hard times make strong characters. Easy times make weak characters.

Use whatever comes at you to level up and benefit you and yours.
