Kindra's Stories

Aug 25

Chances are, you’ve faced disappointment at some point during what you thought would be a big life moment.

You know the moments I’m talking about-- the ones you wait for, prepare for, and visualize countless times. They may come in the form of accolades or sales data, competition wins or connections. These moments are the rare, recognizable opportunities for turning points, open doors, and whole-hearted celebrations. But, sometimes, when you find yourself finally living these dreamed-about, meticulously considered scenarios, you realize that things are not going to go your way.

Whether you’re facing a hopeless scoreboard at the end of a major competition or you see the condolence in your supervisor’s eyes during a promotion meeting, you have a choice in how these moments make you feel.

Join me as I share a few of my own stories about disappointment, and learn the mantra that helps me feel inexplicably calm in spite of it.
