Ever feel like you did everything right and it still fell apart?

There's a concept from Admiral McRaven's book Make Your Bed called the "sugar cookie."

In Navy SEAL training, they would take trainees in perfect dress uniforms — every button polished, everything pristine — and send them sprinting into the ocean. Then roll around in the sand.

Not because they did anything wrong. Just because.

The lesson: sometimes despite your best effort, your best planning, your best everything — life just says it doesn't matter.

Be okay with being a sugar cookie.

How you respond in those moments is everything.

Save this for when you need it.
