“I’ve missed over 9000 shots in my career... I failed over and over and over again, and that’s why I succeeded.”
— Michael Jordan (By acclamation, the greatest basketball player of all time, scoring 30.1 points per game and winning 6 NBA Finals MVP’s. Jordon was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 80’s and 90’s).
So we shouldn’t beat ourselves up if/when we “fail” then ;) What’s our definition of success anyway? Do we want work-life balance? Do we want to live in a certain neighbourhood with an infinity pool? Do we have a driving urge to be the best in our field? Or do we want to enjoy a loving family, tend our garden and be kind to the environment above all. It’s totally up to us (if we can quiet some family and societal chatter). We’re not all as talented as Michael Jordan, so we may need more trial, error and course correction in our story. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs.
Blessings,
