"The distance you travel is decided on your hardest days." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Your worst days will define your best days.

Your biggest mistakes make for your greatest successes.

The moments in which you seem you can barely give it enough will lead you to giving it everything you’ve got.

When it seems everything you are doing can’t make things right, you’ll suddenly find a way.

Those days in which you don’t seem to think you have enough in your tank are quietly recharging your batteries.

Do you sense a theme here?

When I talk about innovation, I constantly point out that the greatest innovators all shared something in common — they failed their way to success.

They got to the top by scraping along the bottom for a time. They only saw wonderful final results after a series of terrible, awful results.

So when those moments of quiet desperation hit, do what everyone has done: pick yourself up, shake it off, and keep moving. because things always come to those who put in the work.

Because the distance you travel is decided on those very days.

(Oh, and before you ask — no, there isn’t anything wrong here! This is just the thought that came to my head as I started my day today!)

One thing that isn't always #clear to me.

How do you tell somebody needing #help that you aren't in a #position to do that directly?

I've always #struggled with this both #morally and #abstractly so. Because I don't like denying anyone any kind of #support if and when I can give it.

Maybe it's just my inner #empathy at play, but I often times feel like I'm there with them in that #moment where I can't just do nothing if it's not an emergency, but not a passive disinterest either.

The way I've delt with this, is to pass the word along to someone who I know could make that #difference more #meaningful or who I #trust to do so. It still doesn't #feel like I've done enough in those kinds of situations though. And I do often wonder if those #people got what they #needed because I was there to put in the #effort at least in part.

I would be okay with it, if it wasnt up to me alone to #fix it. But I still consider the plight of those who need the only #human in sight to act like one. And I wish more of us would and could do that on a collective basis. Our world would be so much better informed and run a lot easier too because there would be a lot less confusion and a lot more certainty on exactly where you stand.
