The 365 Commitment

Pick Up, Go Again

A key moment in a successful journey is just at the moment when you fall to the ground and then get kicked in the teeth for good measure. The moment of total failure. That is the key moment that occurs in any real successful journey. It has happened in every hero story, it has happened in every rags to riches story that I have heard, it happened in every successful rise of a new company. The moment comes when you fail and you are down and out.

When you pick up and just go again. That is it. That is the moment. That actually defines success. When you pick yourself up, set your shoulders and just keep on going. That is the moment when you capture success. That is the Rocky Balboa moment.
