Come Back #1: Feel The Thirst and Fire Again
What was your WHY in the first place? This is no rhetorical question. Pause, think and answer. Why were you going after that goal? That very goal you experienced the setback with.
Was it worth it? If it is still worth it, then darling, you have to feel the thirst and fire again.
Let the desire and the drive to attain that goal, wake you up in the mornings and put you to bed at night.
Think about the goal as your oxygen. To make your comeback you have to inhale it… (the oxygen) Will you breathe short, shallow breaths?
Or will you take long, purposeful breaths from your core and expand your diaphragms?!
Truth is, you breathe differently when you are gearing up to strike; to try again, to get more determined, to make a come back!
In essence, this is making reference to your drive to strike again and make your come back. Clear your airways, get your oxygen and go get ’em!
Comeback #2: Get Better Not Bitter
Ideally, there are many factors that may have resulted in your set back. Some may be minute and simply, unfortunate. While others may be more gruesome and harder to deal with.
Chances are, your setback may have been a result of something you did – or didn’t do and thus, you are dealing with the consequences.
Oftentimes, setbacks can be the fault of others and you may be more bitter about it, than if it was due to a fault of your own.
Nonetheless, holding on to pity or disdain will impede your comeback! You need that energy and attention to focus on getting better!
Get Better
Getting better simply means, inching closer and closer to your comeback. Therefore, you will need to think about – and do the things that will make that possible. Start with assessing your feelings about the setback. You know, to be real and truthful with yourself.
Following that, differentiate what worked well before, from what didn’t. Don’t dwell on the bitter. Engage the better.
In essence, create a system or strategy that is geared towards a better way of going about your goal. Get better and get your comeback!
Come Back #3: Fearless
A presenter who was conducting a seminar on Sales and the skill of Prospecting asked his audience what is the meaning of “fearless.”
As a result, respondents pointed out that it means going after goals without fear or having no fear at all – in whatever the task may be. Many persons think this way.
Nonetheless, the presenter made a common concept all the more unique when he highlighted the two words that spell fearless. They are: fear and less. So then, the fear will come but strive to fear less!
Therefore, you will feel fear at some points in your life. Especially when you have a setback that stirs this and other self belittling emotions.
The aim here is not to be without fear, but to lessen your fear overtime. If you are crippled with fear on route to your comeback, work on diminishing this fear. Once it is in pursuit of your goal – grow fearless and muster your courage as you go along.
You have it within you!
