Failure, Ain't All That Bad
I’m a failure. I won’t ever reach my true potential. This is too difficult. I’ve tried everything! Have you ever spoken any of those phrases? Have you ever thought those words after not being hired for the job of your dreams? Have you ever sat in your car driving home after being dumped by the love of your life?

What is Your Why?
Oftentimes we find ourselves stuck at a bit of a crossroad when it comes to understanding how to drive our own motivation. The simplicity of “Just Do It” can be complex all on its own which can cause those struggling with dim introspection to lose drive and motivation. Many can relate to this paradox with the goal of health and fitness. You might have said this a time or two: “I’m going to start working out at the beginning of the month,” or “ I am going to make healthier food choices starting Monday.” That illusive Monday never comes… Perhaps yours is, “ I want to lose weight, and I know I have to exercise, but I can’t exercise until I lose some weight first.”

Leadership Is a Verb
When I earned my first management position, I was elated. FINALLY! People had finally given me the credit I DESERVED! I had this grand notion that with the flick of my wrist, the stroke of a pen, that all of these great ideas I had locked away would be done and completed and those I was tasked with leading would instantly follow. I mean, why wouldn't they?

Redefining Success
I recently had this discussion with a close friend, on what ‘success’ is and how you recognise it. She had just turned 30 and I am a few months from that milestone, I’m sure we are far from the only friends entering a new decade who have had the reviewed and assessed whether we are where we thought we would be. My friend said she considered me successful, looking at aspects such as my career, relationship, living arrangements etc., but I did not. That’s not to say I am unsatisfied with my current situation, not by any means but ‘success’ is one of those terms we rarely attribute to ourselves. Success is an aspirational, and ever moving goalpost. Most of us know what our personal version of success looks like but how many people actually stop and say, “Right, that’s it. Nothing more to do”? Redefining what success looks like as our situation changes is part of life and necessary for continued improvement… just as long as you can view that moving goalpost as a new opportunity and not as an impossible distance that makes you a failure.
