I’ve known quite a few people (including some of you reading this) who went broke but discovered that when there wasn’t another cent left, there was another day.
You know that resilience has speed as its primary fuel. The faster you return to form, the better off you are.
It doesn’t matter how you fall. What does matter is how quickly you get back up. More than anything else, resilience is about the ability to keep moving forward.
It’s the difference between someone who gets knocked down by life and then sits on their butt waiting for things to get better and someone who gets knocked down, dusts themselves off and keeps on trucking.
Some people spend their entire life looking at the rearview mirror. But you choose to look out the windshield, always focusing on what’s ahead, not the road already travelled.
You know that sometimes you’ll win, and sometimes you’ll lose, but none of this impacts your worth as a person.
You treat yourself well after a “loss,” not only after a “win.” You’re not rewarding failure in so doing, but rewarding a good attempt and the right behaviours.
You focus on the process instead of the goal, for you know that hitting the goal is a natural side effect when you get the process right.
So, does the above describe you? No? Start letting it.
