until death, all defeat is psychological until death, all defeat is psychological this is a quote by Maya Angelou and it is such an incredible reminder for life if you really think about what she's saying death is the only thing that is final and everything else whether that is a setback or a failure none of that is truly permanent and it only becomes permanent when you decide that it is and it only becomes permanent when you decide that it is so if there was a job that you didn't get or a version of life that you wanted to explore that you didn't get to you're allowed to grieve it but defeat isn't the place that you naturally are in or you're supposed to be in it's a place that you have chosen to be in it's a place that you have chosen to be in and so the real question isn't about whether you have failed it's about whether you're still down because you have to be or you're down because you have decided to be
