Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Navigating Through Crisis "

When you find yourself having to navigate your way through a crisis, what

can you do to come out on the other side stronger for the experience?

Every crisis involves risk. It is fraught with danger, but it is also an

opportunity for tremendous learning and growth. Crisis is a time of testing,

but it is also a time of renewal.

Many people, when faced with crisis, tell themselves that they have failed

and convince themselves that there is no point in trying any longer. For

example, if a young man tries to become a professional sculptor and fails,

it does not mean he is a failure as a person or that his life is a failure.

It simply means that, at this particular time in his life, his attempts at

sculpting for a living are not working out.

There are many other possible choices he can make, including trying again at

some point in the future. He has not failed, and he does not have to give up his

dream. But he does have to learn from his attempt and, perhaps, rethink his

strategy. Is there another way he can go about it? Does he need more education?

More experience? More exposure? Help promoting his work?

Failure is only failure if you let it cause you to quit. If you choose to

let it help you, it is merely information you can learn from. It is in

meeting crisis with determination that we measure up to life and its

challenges. In so doing, we develop tenacity and great inner strength.
