“There was a moment before THIS & there will be a moment after THIS,” writes Nina Sossamon-Pogue in her book “This Is Not The End.” (& she’s a #LSU alumni by the way 😉)
THIS moments are those embarrassing moments & brutal setbacks. How do you handle your THIS? Say “I’m fine,” & you’re in denial. Say “I’m better than ever,” & they’ll say that you’re delusional.”
You need to develop & practice a script for when you face the world again. A “no comment” won’t suffice nor will rambling or vengeful words.
Your script is for you and others. Telling the story over and over will only stir up the emotions you’re so desperately trying to heal from.
Your script is for others too because, even with noble intentions, when others ask you “How are you?” your words create their perception that they carry forward.
Own your situation. Touch on the emotion that it hurts/sucks, but DO NOT tell everyone everything nor pull anyone in the pool with you.
Let ‘em know you’ll bounce back & looking forward to a new chapter in your life.
Always take the high road.
Stay amazing! Stay in The Sales Life.
