How to Inspire a Comeback
This time it hurt.
Do you know that feeling where you’re waiting for something huge? You wait. You wait. You work harder. You wait longer. And then, it doesn’t happen…I just experienced one of those instances today. And, I was instantly deflated. I was hurt. The needle pierced deeply into my motivation. Success…well…the notion vanished. I was, again, starting at ground zero.
I know everyone will say “Get back on the horse.” They’ll say, “Nothing comes easy.” And, to that, I’ll respond, “Go work for a greeting card company.” I don’t want to hear it.
Why? Because there is a pleasure in losing. It’s a driver like nothing else. Because, quite simply, when the needle hurts enough, we move. And, quite frankly, every story of success begins with a story of failure.
This is the comeback. It’s the New Itch. And, I’m pissed off enough to scratch it.
I’ve always been intrigued by the daring, fearless, and uncompromising spirits who step in front of the line even though they weren’t invited. I’m intrigued by people who are so passionate about their own purpose that they refuse to hear the word “no.” I’m fascinated by people who glow with uncompromising principle. And, I’m bound and detrmined to be one of those people.
Here’s the thing: everything in life moving forward is a comeback.Whether you had it all–think William Shatner who found another platform–or you’ve never found your glimpse–guys like Stanley Pera who you don’t know but soon will–but found your voice in the end, everything is a comeback.
In the end, we are defined only by what we do about our thoughts, ideals, perceptions, and setbacks.
It’s time for the comeback of your life. If you want it all, find your true setback. Realize that you are always at the bottom. And, there’s no other option than movement.
Go.
