Getting up after the punch
God damn it!
Today, it happened. The project failed, the relationship ended, or something else happened. And no two ways about it, it was on you.
If you get to this point, I want to congratulate you. It’s hard not to find someone else to blame in this situation. Passing the hot potato of blame has become somewhat of a modern pastime, and in many organizations, some believe a function of survival.
Getting over that is a huge step.
Now, recognize you’ve been knocked down.
The next step you’ll need to do is get up.
We all get knocked down. People may remember how you got knocked down. However, they will appreciate how you get up.
