You don’t have to fight nonstop. stop and listen.

A boxer gets sixty seconds in the corner. Nobody calls that quitting. The entire sport is built on the assumption that no one can go continuously.

Hard times don't come with a bell, so the pauses have to be taken rather than given.

And the listening half matters, because the body files its complaints long before the mind admits anything — the jaw, the shallow breathing, the hour lost staring at nothing in particular.

Take the sixty seconds. Sit somewhere and find out what you'd say if somebody asked how you actually were.
