It doesn’t help you or your colleague to throw up your hands in frustration. Skip the hissy fit and work with him/her to salvage your situation.
There’s nothing you have to prove when you’re standing in the winner’s circle. Just being there is proof of purchase.
You thought you had undersold yourself, but in truth you’ve actually placed yourself in a very strategic position. Now you can afford to bide your time.
Changes at home wind up being more positive than you imagined. Sometimes it’s reality – rather than the pursuit of perfection – that delivers.
A lot of people are relying on you to do the right thing. It isn’t easy putting their concerns ahead of yours but that’s what being a hero is all about.
Push now and you’ll poop out. Pace yourself, however, and you’ll go the distance.
