You take what everyone else sees as a negative and turn it to your advantage. You don’t sulk, you don’t curl up and die, you glare at it and think, if it’s not going to happen this way, it’s sure as hell going to happen that way. And you tell anyone who doubts you, “I got this.” Just don’t expect everyone else to understand or agree with your new plan. Most people are either content to stay with the safe thing, or they’re too scared to leave a bad thing, and they’ll put all that fear and doubt on you. They anticipate failure; you anticipate opportunity.
