Call it Act Two of your story and ask: What could this moment be preparing me for?Resilience is not toughness — Flexibility, humour, and leaning on others make us stronger than grit alone.Take a small act of courage — Complete the sentence: “Even though I’m afraid of ____, I will ____ anyway.”And to close the loop on the Spark → Struggle → Breakthrough → Interview → Action arc, you’ll finish this sentence:👉 “One thing I will do to make a difference…”It doesn’t need to be big. It just needs to be yours.Mark’s story reminds us that failure isn’t the opposite of success — it’s part of it.🌍 LinksExplore Mark’s story: sampenny.com/mark-agnew\nTake your own impossible goal seriously — work with me 1:1: sampenny.com/action","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kdu19CKolKfwgEmLueEAd64Q94qABeZDcR2J4NdZ7MQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMDA2/MDg4YjJiODEyNmJm/MGE4OWIwZmFlNWQy/ZjJlZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
