You just won big on the slot machine, does that affect your chance of winning again?
Two independent events. We mistakenly dig our own holes deeper, carrying on a streak of bad decisions.
Your life is a series of events, slices of time, decisions made in succession for perpetuity.
Completely independent, look at them that way.
One bad hand doesn’t ruin your chances the next run, and a glorious success doesn’t protect you from falling. Neither are we felled, nor are we infallible for perpetuity.
Listen, even when everything sucks - right now, is still an independent choice. You are one decision away from a completely different life.
It’s okay if everything was shit, you can still do the right thing. Make the right choice, select the path that resonates with you. Misery and motivation are all fleeting.
Do the right thing.
