Sunday's THOUGHTFUL Post
Failure isn't the opposite of success.
It's the material from which success is created.
We always look at people who've made it and assume the path was smoother than it was.
But zoom in on almost any success story and you'll find the same things:
→ Setbacks that felt like endings
→ Stretches where nothing seemed to move
→ Decisions that only made sense in hindsight
That's not a flaw in the process.
That IS the process.
The problem is, most of us expect progress to be linear.
And when things get messy or slow, it feels like something's wrong, even when it's just the middle of the journey.
I've felt this myself.
Looking back at my own path, all the biggest breakthroughs never came when I expected them to.
They only came after months of feeling like I was going in circles.
Work that seemed wasted at the time turned out to be laying the groundwork for what came next.
I couldn't see it then.
But I can see it now.
So if you're in one of those stretches right now, where the direction isn't clear and the progress feels invisible, I'd offer this:
You don't need to see the full picture before you move.
You just need to keep moving.
Direction tends to come from doing, not from waiting.
And if you're still going, even when it's slow, even when it's uncertain...
You're probably closer than it feels.
