Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of the journey.

Many famous and successful individuals have faced failures before they achieved their goals. Think of Thomas Edison, who failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb, or Oprah Winfrey, who faced numerous setbacks before becoming a media mogul.

These stories teach us a valuable lesson: building resilience and grit is essential for achieving success. When we fail, we learn, adapt, and grow stronger. Each setback is an opportunity to refine our strategies, strengthen our resolve, and move forward with greater determination.

As leaders and professionals, it's crucial to embrace failure as a natural part of our growth. By building resilience, we equip ourselves to handle challenges, persevere through difficulties, and ultimately achieve our goals.

So, the next time you face a setback, remember that you are not alone. Countless successful people have walked this path before you. Build that grit, keep moving forward, and never give up on your dreams.

Increase your productivity
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
by Stephen R. Covey

This book isn't just about quick fixes.
it teaches you a whole new way of looking at effectiveness in your life.

🚀 The Big Idea:
True effectiveness is a 3-stage journey:
Dependence → Independence → Interdependence.
✅ Achieve Independence

1. Be Proactive
Take responsibility for your actions and choices. Don't just react to circumstances.

2. Begin with the End in Mind
Define your goals, then make sure your daily actions align with them.

3. Put First Things First
Prioritize important tasks over just urgent ones. Focus on what really matters.
✅ Reach Interdependence

4. Think Win-Win
Seek mutual benefits in all situations. Cooperate for long-term success.

5. Understand others first
Listen to others before speaking your mind. Build empathy and connection.

6. Synergize team strengths
Combine diverse efforts for mind-blowing team results. The whole is greater!
✅ Continual Renewal

7. Sharpen the Saw
Continuously renew yourself physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Recharge for sustained excellence.

📖The learning?

Your highest fulfillment isn't solo independence...it's an interdependent reality of mutual understanding, symbiotic teamwork

Start small, be consistent.
The payoff? A purposeful, productive, and satisfying life.

Ageing looks good on anyone who believes that it does.
It’s an inner light kind of deal.
It shines through skin, bone, muscle and sinew - bathing everything you see in a luminous glow of peace, acceptance and utter loveliness.
It’s some sort of chemical reaction when self-love (at last) meets Mother Nature.
Then wisdom and hindsight all join together too and cast their magic -
until what you see is a woman who has evolved, grown, learned and risen many many times.
And it’s a beautiful sight to behold.
So, age however you like because if something is not making you happy, that will show.
Time can’t erase your beauty my friend, only negativity can do that.

Made this kale salad tonight and it was delicious! Lots of great ingredients ✅
A few mods based on ingredients that I had on hand and I still have yet to "massage" kale leaves, I typically just put in a container with a lid and toss!

This fresh, healthy, massaged kale salad recipe is packed with colorful vegetables, crispy chickpeas, avocado, cranberries, and pepitas. Great for lunch!

There has been no more McDonald's in Iceland since October 31, 2009. They hate fast food culture. The last snack to sell the franchise has been on display in a museum ever since and, even 11 years later, is still intact!!

The french fry paper seems to be biodegrading faster than the food!
