It's All or Nothing - Or Is It?

We live in a pass or fail culture. Many of us live in absolutes, it's all or nothing, black or white.

🔹 Did you get a raise or promotion? If not, you failed.

🔹 Did you get an A+? If not, you failed.

🔹 Did you win the deal or make the sale? If not, you failed.

🔹 Did you "get" the girl? If not, you failed.

These are the messages our culture would lead us to believe. We learn at at early age that you get measured by your outputs and accomplishments (especially high-achieving men).

One alternative is to refrain from labeling experiences as a pass or fail and simply learn from them. Did you get a raise? Amazing! What can you keep doing that lead to that benefit? If the raise didn't come (yet) and it's something you truly want, where can you grow so you earn that recognition?

Shift your perspective and you will realize there is a whole lot of space in between the extremes where you can thrive!
