From Good Morning by Brook Noel:
Did you know that Levi Strauss was originally a tentmaker in the 1850s? He used a heavy-duty denim fabric he had invented to make tents. He failed at his tent endeavor. I wonder what we would all be wearing if he would have succeeded?
Obstacles, failures, detours, roadblocks and road bumps are key ingredients to success. We can’t get to success in a personal or professional endeavor without that ingredient. Roadblocks and the like teach us to stretch our thinking, reframe our situation, expand our possibilities, which are also important ingredients of success.
Perhaps if we expected these side steps, we could accept them versus thinking they are reasons to abandon a goal.
