As long as you are setting goals, wanting to progress, seeking to grow -there will always be that moment when it feels so hard that every bone in your body is screaming at you to give up.

What you do in this moment is everything.

It’s not the obstacle that defines your success or failure in achieving the goal. It’s your ability to rise to the challenge it presents so that, instead of marking the end of the road, it signals your moment of triumph.

This is the pivotal moment, the part of the journey you remember as the moment you dug deep and found the strength and resilience to keep going, It’s the How of How did I get here? that is so integral to your new identity as the person who achieved your goal.

This week on Legal Imposters we’re talking about what this resilience looks like and how to find it when that time comes. It’s not strategy. It isn’t even a skill or tool. It’s pure mindset. And it’s the most important quality of all.

Happy listening.
