After a tumultuous presidential election, we will hopefully begin the peaceful transfer of power. For many, uncertainty is the central theme not just in this country, but all over the world. The supporters of the candidate who won the election are excited about the incoming administration, and for those whose candidate came up short, there is a sense of hopelessness and feelings of defeat.
Achievers know that uncertainty has its advantages. President Biden said it best, “Defeat does not mean you are defeated.” The political landscape has changed. As an Achiever, look upon this as an opportunity, and take advantage of the new landscape. This is the perfect time to make adjustments, change the game, build new pathways and find a new rhythm in our everyday lives.
Here’s the thing, being overly concerned about what either side is going to do next can be an unnecessary detour. Building a national presidential campaign and raising over a billion dollars in just 107 days, plus securing the endorsements from major luminaries and powerful allies – that’s an achievement! It takes courage, hard work and savvy to be an Achiever. You will never find out what’s on the other side if you don’t put forth the effort and challenge yourself. Challenges are just that…it’s uncomfortable, but not unconquerable. Whomever you voted for, it doesn’t matter. Optimism is the key. Take it and run with it. Remember, every morning you open your eyes is a gift. Look out world!
