A little bit of advice from a Japanese proverb that happened to really strike me:

「継続は力なり」

keizoku wa chikara nari

Literally: Continuance is also strength

So whenever you get knocked down, to be able to prove your resilience and get up is a strength of its own. If you just hold on, sudden power will emerge by itself. Perseverance is a kind of strength of its own.

七転び八起き! It’s better to stumble seven times and then recover by the eighth than to suffer defeat!
