There are very few guarantees in life.  But one thing that is sure to happen…you will get knocked down.

The fact of the matter, if you are going to try and achieve anything in life (especially anything cool) you will have your share of obstacles.  There will be failures.  There will be people telling you that you can’t do it.  You will have moments you question the journey yourself.

But the true test of a person, a team or an organization is how they respond when the resistance shows up. 

My advice…treat the obstacles as proof that you are on the right track.  Understand that these are defining moments.  Take a breath and consider why you are doing what you are doing in the first place.

And get back up.
