BUMP
Happy Monday Wealth Builders! As we dive into the week, let’s reflect on a powerful thought:
"Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." – Michael Jordan
Success isn’t a straight road. It’s filled with twists, turns, and yes—speed bumps. When challenges arise, it’s easy to let them become roadblocks that derail our progress. But remember, a speed bump is just that—a bump, not a barrier.
Real-Life Example: The Story of Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan, often celebrated as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, wasn’t always seen as a success. He was even cut from his high school varsity basketball team. This could have easily been a roadblock for many, but not for Jordan. He took a moment to breathe and process the setback. Instead of letting it define him, he understood what he needed to improve—from his skills to his mindset. Jordan made a plan to push himself harder, training with relentless focus and determination. He proceeded with unwavering commitment, eventually becoming a six-time NBA champion and a global icon.
Jordan’s journey teaches us that setbacks are not the end—they’re just speed bumps on the road to success. He once said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." His story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset, any obstacle can be overcome.
Acronym for Success: BUMP
BREATH: When obstacles arise, take a moment to breathe and clear your mind.
UNDERSTAND: Assess the situation and understand what went wrong.
MAKE A PLAN: Develop a new strategy or adjust your existing one.
PROCEED: Take action on your new plan with renewed determination.
Remember, when life throws a wrench in your plans, it’s not the end. It’s an opportunity to pause, rethink, and come back stronger. Don’t let a speed bump become a roadblock. Breathe, understand, make a plan, and proceed. The road to success is still open, and it’s yours to travel.
Wishing you a week full of determination and growth!
