Excerpts:
How should a leader respond when her dream dies? How does a leader recover when his hopes are dashed?
1) A failed dream doesn’t make you a failure.
... possess an internal self-image that’s unaffected by outcomes. People with an unhealthy view of failure personalize it, seeing the failure as a reflection of their inadequacy. Conversely, those with a healthy outlook on life externalize failure. They understand its inevitability, and they look for the lessons it brings. One mindset wallows in the emotions of failure; the other works through them in anticipation of future triumphs.
2) Even when dreams die, our purpose remains.
... you will never exhaust your capacity to grow toward your potential, nor will you run out of opportunities to help others. Your dreams may not come true, but the purpose for which you were created always endures.
3) By reflecting on our purpose, we can birth new dreams.
Peering into our life’s purpose inspires us to revise our dreams or to give birth to new ones... The specific dream I choose to follow may not work out, but I still have a purpose, and I can keep exploring new avenues to realize it.
