This episode is inspired by a recent experience that I had while doing a half-marathon. On our journey through life, we are going to have obstacles and challenges. Things will not always go the way we want them to. So the question is what do you do when that happens? How do you cope when things keep going wrong?

There are many things we can't control, but one thing we can always control is our reaction to any circumstance, or how we show up and who we are in the face of whatever happens in our lives. Focus on what you can control.
