Topic: Keep Your Head

Keeping your head in adversity should be the very first rule for dealing with adversity. If the great opponent or great adversary has an ultimate weapon against you, this weapon is the weapon of war called psychological warfare. To win the war against an opponent, you want the opponent to think defeat is absolutely certain. When your opponent is absolutely convinced defeat is absolutely certain, the opponent may give up. The reverse is also true. When your opponent can convince you defeat is absolutely certain or you are willing to be convinced defeat is absolutely certain, you are already defeated in your mind. Keeping your head means you always know the absolute realities. Most of the time, the absolute realities are much different than what we perceive. Keeping your head means you keep everything in perspective. You keep thoughts of defeat out of your head unless or until the game is over. Even when the game is over, there is, in this life, a next game, especially for those of us who believe Heaven waits for us. Keeping your head means keeping your emotions in check. Keeping your emotions in check means keeping the emotions of hopelessness, anger, frustration, fear, and anxiety out of the so-called rational thought processes going on in our mind.
