I understand. Your thoughts brought to mind a quote and looking for it found it was a poem by Rudyard Kipling I had forgotten about.

Rudyard Kipling, If: A Father's Advice to His Son

The whole poem seems fitting for these times. If not all times.

Love that poem. My mom has to memorize it in school back in the 1940’s. I gave a copy to my old football coach too - told him I felt like the years learning from his wisdom were summed up in the IF poem by Rudyard Kipling.
