Apr 30

“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” –Steve Jobs

Things not going a particular way we think they should go at any particular time is not necessarily a bad thing.

Actually, it’s probably a very good thing. Maybe even the source of all true progress.

What’s the other side to what you’re seeing that you don’t like right now?

Got frustration?

“You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.” –Ralph Marston
