Career coach Deirdre Orr reminds us of something very important with this quote: your feelings aren’t things. They’re valid. You can acknowledge them. But they aren’t things. They aren’t real obstacles. They’re ghosts. So stop letting them stop you, as if they were tangible obstacles.
What makes someone truly great is how they deal with setbacks. That’s what sets the haves and the have-nots apart. Setbacks are inevitable. Setbacks are things you almost cannot control. What you can control is how you respond to them, and that’s what will determine your success.
Have we been set up for failure?
