00:00I try to incorporate new activities like some sports and even joining Zim, but after some time I give up
00:06on it.
00:07Do I lack understanding or do I lack love to follow that?
00:11You lack nothing. All you need is another attempt. Don't miss two days because you have missed one day.
00:18Yeah, I usually give up and then think there's some other thing.
00:22Giving up is not the same as missing. This is life. It will keep defeating you.
00:27Now and often, here and there, it will happen. Your job is to just get up and just walk on.
00:34I have to constantly keep fighting.
00:36Obviously, what else? What else? Remember, you went to the gym a day, you skipped the gym the next day.
00:42That does not undo what you got the previous day, right?
00:47And never say, because I missed the gym for five consecutive days, so I'm giving up.
00:51Giving up is not admissible.
00:54The problem is you start seeing defeats as aberrations.
00:59Defeats become milestones for you.
01:01Oh my God, I was always doing well.
01:03How did I disqualify?
01:06How did I fail this exam?
01:08When defeat comes, when a wound lands,
01:12when you take a blow,
01:13take that as default. That's life.
01:16That's life. Just get up and give one back.
01:18Take that back.
01:19Bye.
01:19Bye.
01:20Bye.
