In today's fast-paced world, many of us feel the pressure to be constantly "on." We push ourselves to work harder, achieve more, and be perfect in every aspect of our lives. But what happens when that motivation wanes? When the curve takes a dip and we feel ourselves on a downward slope?

Andrew Seidman, a seasoned go-to-market strategist and former professional poker player, offers a refreshing perspective. He reminds us that it's okay to not feel perfectly motivated every day. Life, much like a poker game, has its ups and downs. You can make all the right moves and still not win every hand.

Instead of fighting the current, Andrew suggests we "give ourselves a break." Recognize that the curve will turn back up again. The key is to zoom out and see the bigger picture, rather than focusing solely on the present moment's struggles. This mindset, honed at the poker table and applied in the boardroom, is a powerful tool for navigating the inevitable fluctuations of both work and life.
