Should I reaffirm my values? Check your top-priority values, and make sure they fit with your life and your vision for yourself. • Do these values make you feel good about yourself? • Are you proud of your top five values? • Would you be comfortable and proud to tell your values to people you respect and admire? • Do these values represent things you would support, even if your choice isn't popular, and it puts you in the minority?

The truth is that challenge is the crucible for greatness “All significant and meaningful accomplishments involve adversity, difficulty, change, and challenge. No one ever got anything extraordinary done by keeping things the same. Risk, uncertainty, and hardships test us. You have to embrace the challenge, control what you can, and take charge of change to be successful in turbulent times. To deal with setbacks and to bounce back from mistakes, you need grit. You also need to find ways to learn from failure, knowing that it’s one of the best teachers you can have.” James M. Kouzes& Barry Z. Posner The Truth About Leadership
