Sometimes when you finish a journey, you arrive at a place that looks very different from what you thought it was going to look like. You might be disappointed, you might be pleasantly surprised, but you should definitely be hopeful that things will get better. You are where you need to be, and if you aren’t happy about the accommodations, be patient. Learn to live with it and explore what it offers. This place you’re in has much more to offer than you realize.

Keep your head down and complete important tasks before you head out to have some fun. Looming deadlines will weigh heavily on your mind if you don’t check at least a few items off your to-do list.

Have you been so busy pointing out what’s wrong with you and your partner that you’ve forgotten what made you get together in the first place? There were and are good, compelling reasons. Make an effort to recall them.

There are no such things as minor setback today. Everything is major. So when you lose, you lose big. But the same holds true for winning, so remind yourself to bet high when you think you have a sure thing.
