Many of us have been conditioned to see setbacks  – large or small – as a shameful failure. We make our best efforts wrong. Viewing them from the lens of failing forward means that we see what we have achieved as part of the journey to the desired outcome. This fuels us to keep going in the direction we want to go and not to give up. So here’s to the Success Salsa: one step forward, two steps sideways, and some laughter sprinkled in!

So when I say the clichéd term “I know how you feel” I truly mean it. I have been there. Not once. Many times. Even now, my ball of wool becomes entangled on this journey called my life. The difference is that I am aware of the chaos I am creating and can help myself before it becomes an unrecognisable mess.

Looking back on my journey, there have been plenty of times I’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to see a way out—kind of like being trapped in quicksand. It’s easy to panic in those moments.

“You can never know how many lives you’ve touched, so just know it’s far more than you think.”

I often wonder how many disguises resistance shows up in. I feel I could open a costume hire shop with the amount of outfits my resistances have worn over the years, each with their unique look, feel and character!

Are there areas in your life where you’ve dug your heals in the sand? Resistance can be both a warning and an invitation.
