How can you use your greatest losses?
How can you use your greatest losses?
I’ve lost my way, lost people, relationships, jobs, deals and confidence. But my greatest losses fuel me and teach me every day.
As a young leader and seller, I thought I had found some success. But my greatest successes were after my most substantial defeats – in my faith, my personal life and my career.
Don’t dwell, but reflect on what you’ve lost. Where could you have performed differently, communicated more effectively, earned trust better?
Sometimes, losses happen unexpectedly or unfairly – but these still give you lessons: enjoy and optimize each moment, each decision, each day. Give. Invest in meaningful relationships. Appreciate and love fully – from the people in your life to the work you get to do.
Utilize the teachings from your losses to course correct, to have the foresight to make better decisions. Don’t react, don’t lose your cool – analyze the road that led you here and take from it the knowledge and experience that will inform future actions.
My losses fuel me every day. If you choose to learn from yours, your best wins are ahead.
