Not everything has to do with the number given to you based on your work.

Not everything has to do with the number that the scoreboard displays at the end of a game. 

Not everything has to do with the number of colleges that accept you. 

Not everything has to do with the number of friends that you have.

However…

Almost everything has to do with your reaction.

Almost everything has to do with what you do when the number is not desirable.

Almost everything has to do with what you learn from facing these adversities.

Almost everything is not set in stone until you carve it out yourself.

So change your reaction.
