Time Period Defines Success/ Failure

Failure or success appear like a false alarm or a false celebration when viewed in a micro time period. For in the micro time period our ability to understand the bigger picture is often compromised.

What may appear as our biggest failures in a micro time period become our biggest success drivers when viewed from a longer time period. That's why maintaining balance in moments of seeming success and failure is key, for we are often looking at the incomplete picture when viewed from a point of time perspective.

That non-selection in a role, or the seeming M&A deal that slipped through your hands, may seem like failure in the micro time period. Yet, it may well be making way for a bigger opportunity that's on it's way if we keep pursuing with intent.
