Food for thought
Following the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858, Lincoln discovered on election night that despite a majority of pro-Lincon votes cast in Illinois, he was not going to win a seat in the US Senate. Walking home well after midnight he tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and nearly fell.
Reflecting later on both the election and the his stumble he said, "I realized then, that it was a stumble and not a fall and I could go on." Two years later he became the greatest president in US history.
We are not defined by our "stumbles" but by how we react to them.
