Recovery after a setback.

Did the setback ever take you somewhere better than you first had in mind?

Why it matters

The mistake isn't the problem. Staying down is.

Everyone stumbles. Everyone makes mistakes, loses games and has bad days. What sets people apart is the next few minutes: turning towards what's in front of them instead of replaying what's behind.

Michael Jordan walked away from basketball after his father's death, then came back and won again. Peyton Manning rebuilt his entire game around a serious neck injury and went on to win a Super Bowl. Recovery isn't about never falling. It's about how quickly you rise, carrying the lesson with you.

This strength is built where the scoreboard tells the truth and the next play always comes. It's what stops one bad week from becoming a bad year.
