How to move forward in your career after a setback
Excerpts from article by Bryan Robinson, published in Forbes
If you’re climbing the career ladder, it won’t be a straight shot. No matter how educated, talented or skilled you are, progress simply doesn’t work that way. It’s simple science. At some point, we have to regress to progress. If we get stuck on one rung, our continued success is usually a consequence of our attitude and how we respond.
Never Give Up
It’s natural to grow disheartened when we feel defeated on the way to a professional dream that we want with our heart and soul. We’re knocked down, and the heartbreak slams the wind out of us. With our faces marred by dust and sweat and blood, we push ourselves up on our scabby knees, stagger to our feet and summon the courage to try again. Being able to struggle and overcome the hard times is just a valuable as having the strength to show up and face the challenge one more time.
Chinese philosopher Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop” to Thomas Edison, who said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time” to American writer Truman Capote, who said, “Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
Reset With Self-Affirmations
Inner dialogue has power. It can make you think you can achieve something, or it can make you give up before you try. Even if you have the ability, you might tell yourself you can’t. Positive self-talk helps you cope better with adversity because it helps you see solutions to work/life problems. Self-affirmations are not tricks to convince you that a situation is better than it actually is. They are prescriptions of encouragement within your reach: “I missed the chance this time, but more career opportunities are waiting for me in the future” or “Everytime I have a setback, it brings me closer to my goal.”
You become proficient on a regular basis at what you tell yourself. A positive outlook can undo the damage that stress does to your mind and body. It literally helps repair cardiovascular wear and tear. Positive encouragement sends the body a different message than negative emotions, creating a calming effect. Think about what positive support you need to give yourself to change the course of your career.
Open Your Arms To Failure And Success
In order to wrap your arms around success, you must first accept its opposite: failure. You can’t have a beginning without an end, a front without a back, an up without a down. If you’re pulling your hair out trying to gain status or achieve a goal, you must first accept that gain and loss work in concert.
To attain what we want, we must be willing to accept what we don’t want. The key is to be patient and commit ourselves in advance to facing the many smack downs we will encounter like all successful people before us. That means celebrating the upswings but not taking them any more seriously than the smack downs and not taking the smack downs any more seriously than the upswings.
Embrace Constructive Criticism
If you always search for praise and ignore constructive criticism, you run the risk of being ruined by praise when you could be saved by helpful criticism.
In order to excel, we must be willing to accept constructive feedback from colleagues without taking it personally. The only way we can know ourselves and succeed is through the mirror of human relationships. If our ego is too fragile to appreciate constructive criticism, then we might as well surround ourselves with pets—because they give unconditional acceptance and don’t talk back. When we make this attitude adjustment, like good medicine, it makes a bitter pill go down. And ultimately it contributes to our success trajectory.
