Work setbacks
Work setbacks.
They’re gonna happen.
You’ll be consistently challenged your entire life by small, medium and large challenges. Challenges you see coming, and challenges you never see coming.
#truth
Doubts and fears — versus — hopes and dreams.
Profuse, perverse, and pervasive societal norms that promote a low-standard of career vibrancy expectations.
Few if any personal, lifetime role models.
A constant conflict with reality.
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.
You can intentionally take small, calculated risks with your leadership. If your risk ‘fails’, it’s still a success because you learned something and any ‘damage’ was small , unnoticeable, and easily corrected.
Career setbacks can diminish as you age if you embrace and cultivate a growth mindset. They can also multiply if you embrace a closed mindset.
The odds in either direction, however, seem to be influenced by architecting your personal vibrancy, with great intention.
Recovery from risks successful failures, by design, so to speak.
Remember, waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self destruction.
Keep moving forward.
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
If anything can go wrong, it will.
Or, using your growth mindset, “If anything can go right, it will.”

Work reality
From Google: “Reality encompasses the totality of all facts, events, and existence, regardless of whether they are known or observed. Key synonyms include actuality, truth, existence, substance, fact, and realness.”
Work reality…
To me then, work reality is the totality of all my focus, discipline, thinking, goals, and art.
Hoping to consistently and remarkably achieve, on a lifetime average, an exceptionally vibrant, artful contribution to our world, starting with my family.

Work ambition
Work ambition. Career ambition.
How much is enough?
Like money, wealth isn’t a tangible number. Wealth is an ecosystem you create.
The ecosystem doesn’t need ‘more’ to finally work.
The ecosystem works because it’s symbiotic.
My financial ecosystem works because we’ve learned to live within our means.
The impending fixed-income reality makes this acutely real. What comes in is all we have to spend. What goes out (expenses) must not exceed what comes in.
If When we master this symbiotic relationship, there’s no need for more money. Ever.
There’s an exception to every rule.
We have a rainy day fund for the infrequent, yet costly, expenses that are planned and unplanned.
