Resilience

Rise up, keep going, believe in you! How often have you failed? And I mean fail in a significant way. How are they able to pick themselves up and keep going? What are the intangibles? Is it faith? Hope? Trust? I believe some people believe, rather know, there are more extraordinary things awaiting them. Each time they fail means they are much closer to their goal. When I first started as the CEO of Arizona ALFA, our first conference, I fell off the stage. In front of many people who I just met. Embarrassing? Yes. I had never been a leader of anything except my childhood dog. I knew I must get up, keep going, so I did. That bad embracing outcome gave me confidence, and as my mom used to say, ‘that which does kill us makes us better.’ Guess what? She was right. There are going to be good times and bad times. Good outcomes and bad. It is 100% up to the person whether to view it as something that happens in life and keep going, or allow it to define them. Choose YOU. Know you are here for a reason.
