Life is just? Each one will be able to answer from their experience, but we will all agree that no matter how well we act; at any moment life can give us one of its best blows. And if we are not mentally strong, it can knock us out.
We can give our best effort, the market changes and we go bankrupt; we can practice a sport every day and when we least expect it we fracture.
No one is exempt from going through difficult times no matter how well they are doing things.
In general, the answer to these adversities is to ask ourselves: Why me? And that’s when we begin to create mental barriers and make it a habit to look for blame for our situation.
So we must prepare ourselves not to let a simple question trigger a domino effect; which will deeply affect our way of seeing life and catapult us towards failure.
