Share Saturday (on Sunday): During the CFB Playoffs yesterday, the sportscaster said something to the effect of "winners are determined by how they handle adversity." It was in the context of being in the right mindset to bounce back when you're down. How do you handle adversity?

It reminded me of the quote: "You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to them." Why do some react with negative emotions and responses while others positive? I'm a hub, so I respond differently depending on the situation. I think environment and experience are big factors. I realized that I didn't learn two important things: 1) how to deal with grief and 2) how to fail. Both deal with loss. 1) I was fortunate. I didn't have any loved ones pass away growing up. But, because of that, I also never experienced real grief. When two of the most important people in my life died, I didn't know how to process it. 2) Being an overachiever and perfectionist, everything was planned. I was on a controlled path. Long story short, I burned out, hard. Then, I felt completely lost. Sports teams take each loss as a learning experience for the next game(s). For builders: How can we create a positive culture that embraces failure? Or, dare I say, encourages failure. Fail fast and a lot.
