Micheal Jordan might be the ultimate example on responding to setbacks. Successful people all have a comeback story. This is because they fought through failures to get them to where they are today. Their legacy was forged through fire, not through ease & comfort. As you get older, your rebound time should go down. As you learn and grow, your ability to rebound after a setback should shrink. That’s developing mental toughness. I define toughness as, “Be at your best and overcome all adversity.” Setbacks are inevitable. No body is perfect, and there’s always going to be someone better. What do you do with that setback and how do you respond? That determines how your future will play out. All of these people listed embraced delayed gratification. They didn’t take the short-term treat, they worked, overcame and conquered the long-term success. When setbacks happen, ask yourself, “how can I use this? How can I respond? What needs to improve or change?”
