How often are you pushing towards a goal or finish line & you hit a speed bump that derails your momentum. How do you respond?
I used to cruise along at a good clip towards a goal, I would hit a speed bump, get derailed & just stop. It felt like failure was it, I messed up.
It took some really significant setbacks stacked on top of each other for me to see what I was doing to myself and my relationships. It also made me realize that I had zero professional resilience. I felt like in my life, I had overcome some big setback personally, my divorce or being asked to resign from a company I helped build.
What was the difference? It was confidence...or lack thereof. I was doing well in my job & things in my personal projects were more complex & bigger ideas. When your confidence is low, trying to do anything difficult seems almost impossible. That is where I was.
How did I overcome & rebuild my confidence? I started small, I started keeping promises to myself. Really small promises.
