Nobody handles life perfectly all the time. Yesterday was just a day on the calendar. You’ll have days when you fall off track—skip routines, spiral into stress, or shut down. That’s okay. What matters is not staying stuck.
Resilience is the decision to begin again. Over and over, if needed. The important thing is you have faith and trust in yourself to keep trying. Each time you restart, you show trust in yourself. You remind yourself that you’re allowed to be imperfect and still keep going.
There’s no shame in resetting. It’s one of the strongest things you can do. Every moment is a fresh beginning.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
