For the moments I feel faint...

"When trying to navigate through the treacherous world of the workplace and stay on course with who you're called to be, there's one trait that will serve you more than anything else:

Resilience.

You will be pushed, prodded, pressured, isolated and questioned.
Picture
You will get difficult feedback.

You will forget why you're here.

You will have a really, really bad day.

And a meaningless week.

You will discover that your college degree didn't prepare you for this.

You will find people lapping you in promotion, development and success.

But you must bounce back. You must find a way to be singularly focused and galvanized towards who you're shaped to be.

Find a couple of friends who will commit to holding you on course.

Write your goals down.

Spend time every month imagining who you could become if you stayed on track for another five or ten years.

Figure out what you need to become the best version of you, and then be relentlessly intentional about making it happen.

It's your life, your responsibility."
