How best can I deal with this situation? If you can learn to ask yourself this question, and adapt your response and approach to the circumstances that are before you, you will be able to accomplish anything.
What separates highly successful people from others is flexibility.
If you get too rigid or attached to your particular approach or point of view you could miss an insight or strategy that could get you to your goal much faster or more efficiently.
The more flexible you are, the more you can learn to perceive obstacles as opportunities to course correct or learn something necessary to fulfilling your purpose. The path is rarely straight or predictable and it is ok to vary your approach as you are getting there.
Thomas Edison was a master at the idea that there is no failure, only feedback. When asked about his failed attempts at creating the light bulb he simply replied, “I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that didn’t work.”
So, take the feedback, change up the approach and maintain your focus on your destination. You will be amazed at what will unfold when you roll with what presents itself on your journey rather than resisting. Here’s to your success!
