The job of a leader is to find the victory inside every adversity.

And the task of each human is to turn defeat into winning and tragedy into triumph.

I know that sounds obvious yet those who make their lives beautiful, joyful and great really do make it a practice of seeing windows of opportunity where most spot walls of adversity.

I’ve been through a lot in my life. Been bruised and bloodied, disappointed and dejected. Yet, I’ve always done my best to keep moving forward. And seeking the blessing inside the curse, if you get my drift.

And once you start operating like this (with the consistency that is the mother of mastery), failure becomes a friend. And a circumstance that introduces you to your gifts, strengths and most high of qualities.

I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written.

We all have hard seasons.

Stages where the ground on which we stand seems to crumble, nothing seems to be in our favor and the winter seems endless.

To know pain, to endure suffering and to feel as though the trial will never end is to be fully human. And to become most intimate with life itself.

“A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul”, though.

From what I can tell—and who truly knows the way the world works—that which appears to unmake us is the very season that rebuilds us.

Our pain, in truth, becomes a purifier. Difficulty softens us, unmasks us and opens us—allowing the gifts of wisdom, humility and patience to become our new way of being.
