Always worth remembering Gen. Harold Moore's rules of leadership that he learned and honed in combat in Vietnam:
Meditations on Mindset in a Plague Year
The core, the nugget, of a survival mindset is not positive thinking, or resiliency, or focus, although all three of those things play a critical part. I think that the centerpiece of a survival mindset is acceptance. ... Denial can be described as the mental processes that allow us to avoid acknowledging a threat of any kind, essentially sticking our collective fingers in our collective ears and collectively shouting, “LA LA LA LA LA…”
Acceptance, on the other hand, is facing the world as it actually is and basing our actions on, dare I say it, reality.
First, never quit. Three strikes and you're not out. Put that on your refrigerator.
Number two - there's always one more thing you can do to influence any situation in your favor. There's always a way.
Number three - trust your instincts.
