Damn. Yesterday was a tough day. Heard back from 2 roles I had applied & was on final stretch that I wasn't selected but was a "strong no.2" in both. 
One of the roles would have meant moving back to Dubai, which had got me super excited. Guess it wasn't meant to be in the end.

Times like these, I try to keep in mind the saying: "When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening".

I will continue to put myself in best possible physical & mental shape I can be & actively look for other opportunities. If I was a strong no.2 in these cases, I can be the no.1 in the next one.
