if your hand is full of sand
Embrace defeat the same way you embrace success. That's gonna make your discouragement fade away like sand in the wind. What you thought you were grasping with your hand was but a sprinkle of it, disappearing easily in the distance. Whatever happened, you can let it go. Release the grip of what is now just a memory. What remains is your hand. Your ability to try again is always there, in every moment, no matter what. See it in your hand, alive and strong, holding every possibility. Your hand holds that power. Unless all you see is sand. And if your hand is full of sand, just open it and let it fall away. Remember: there is nothing to lose. Nothing is lost. All that we really have is our life.
