How to Win after a Loss: Lessons from the 2016 Rio Olympics

I realize we don’t always have to “win” in order to win. In life, we will always lose battles; but what will always be remembered is how we behaved despite the final results. Our reactions will determine our victories, but some people reverse this. To them, their results will determine their reactions.

day one: patience is a virtue

We have been looking forward to this trip for about a month now, and to be finally here blows our minds away! The funny thing is: we almost didn’t make it!

Kenny worked a full 7 day week, so between being tired and the anticipation of coming here didn’t help him sleep last night. We set our alarms at 5:30am, but we snoozed another 15 minutes. Our flight was at 7:15am; we got to the airport at 6:50am. The gentleman at the Delta kiosk told us our luggage might not make it on this trip and told us to run to the gate because they were done boarding. So we ran like gazelles and apparently, so did our luggage. I was so relieved and so thankful by the airline for being so PATIENT , but who knew they would be teaching us a lesson today.
