Life something kicks you in the ass. Bad things happen to us. How do you get up and recover from it? How do you keep going?

And it’s not a question of if something bad will happen, but when. So you better have a strategy to deal with setbacks.

We all have to deal with hurt, sadness, and loss in our lives. That’s a given. So it is not important to ask yourself why bad things happen.

As Epictetus said about 2000 years ago:

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
