Allow Broken Dreams to Become Blueprints for Your Success
Let’s pull back the curtain on how.
How are your broken dreams blueprints for success?
Each failure you experience is a dress rehearsal for some future act of your life where you will become destined to win.
But remember that you are the protagonist in this lifelong play. And though it might all feel scripted, you control this narrative.
You determine the setting of each scene you step into, the cast of supporting characters around you, and every line of dialogue you utter.
You decide whether the mood remains lighthearted and carefree — or intense and full of needless drama.
So take detailed notes on your performance each day, and then try to do better the next time. Eventually, you will, and the world will give you a standing ovation.
Good luck and break a leg.
