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.”
