Today you will encounter an issue that is not according to your plan. If not today, maybe tomorrow. How we choose to react to this is our choice alone, and we can see it as an issue or an opportunity.
With each negative encounter, we learn. What we are good at, what we can do better, what people value, how we better present. We rarely know until we put it out for inspection.
You lost a client, it is an opportunity to find clients who align with you.
You lost the game, and it reveals your formation does not suit the players you have.
The product release is poorly received, and you discover an alternate path.
You do not get the job, and the company was less than ideal.
In adversity, there is always an upside. Do you choose to look for it and discover where it is, or do you abandon it and say it is all a failure. It is a flop if we do not necessarily believe in what we set out to do at the outset.
