1. Forget the past and embrace where you are today.
One of the most difficult lessons in business is letting go of things that we feel are important to us. Oftentimes it’s just the notion of prior success that we are holding on to. You were thriving, you had more friends, people were happier, and everyone wanted to be a part of your world. Now it’s gone and it’s time to start over. The past will never return. You’ve changed, and the world has changed. Embrace where you are and build a new success; a new world.
Task: You’re starting over. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve lived and faced adversity, crisis, and death. Write down what you’ve learned. Then write down what is next for you, what you want to (i) be and (ii) do.
