Complete the equation

"The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills are only half of the equation. The other half is theirs.... An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result"
Sadaharu Oh

If you look at every "problem" you face, are you using the problem to your advantage? What can you learn from it? How can you grow as a result? What skills do you need to have in order to achieve the outcome you want?

When you consider that a "game" is never really won, but lost by the "team" that caved first - are you doing all that you can - all of the time?
