Daily Inspiration: "Reverse your setbacks sooner & find your redemption faster!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Never let a setback set you back!

It's all about moving forward, not back. Do that faster when things go wrong.

Perseverance. determination, fortitude, persistence, resolve. These are YOUR words. These are the words that define the attitude you need to go in the right direction.

If you are going to be an innovator, someone living into tomorrow rather than yesterday, you know that there are people that will dismiss what it is you invent, the ideas you create, the initiatives you chase. If you are a disruptor, anti-disruptors will battle your disruption. If you imagine great things for the future, you will be surrounded by them who will work to belittle you with their small ideas. If you seek to create yourself a better future, others will seek to destroy it.

If you don't guard against this reality, you won't have what you need to see it through.

"I didn't get it right the first time" should be a goal; "Let me give it another shot" is a part of your story; "I need to try again" is a key part of your vocabulary.

In other words, sometimes getting a redo is a part of the process. If you are seeking to move forward, sometimes failure will get in your way, and you need to be determined to push on through it. Here’s a phrase you have probably heard - “fail early, fail often!” If not, file that one away - I use it a lot on stage.

It’s the same with our personal efforts, whether finding a new job, pursuing a new career, or taking on some new type of challenge. The path for success might not always be an easy one, but it’s a necessary one. The very act of taking each step forward is an ultimate part of that overall success.

After all, nothing great was ever achieved by giving up!
