BYS 05/28/23 🟨 Black and Bruises
Victory is a pursuit that often demands sacrifice.
You're getting off easy if the price is only the occasional skinned knee and a few deep purple bruises.
It won’t hurt a bit to read today's Big Yellow Sticky...
VICTORY!
It’s worth a few skinned elbows and bruises.
The rewards of triumph far outweigh the temporary discomfort and setbacks encountered along the way.
If you're on the basketball court aiming for the game-winning shot, enduring a few elbow jabs or shoves from the opponent are meaningless when compared to the profound satisfaction that accompanies sinking that shot and hearing the cheers of the crowd.
Embracing minor setbacks is part of the game because they serve as pivotal stepping stones on the arduous path to success. Whether it's on a basketball court or in the boardroom.
Bruises are generally regarded as unwelcome consequences, but they possess a unique significance in the context of personal achievement. Think about the scene in the original JAWS movie where the characters are comparing scars and telling the stories behind each one. They aren't comparing pains or losses, they are sharing times in their lives where they encountered trouble and emerged victorious.
These marks are badges of honor, each one representing moments when you pushed beyond your limits, confronting challenges head-on, and refusing to settle for anything less than excellence.

I consider it a victory every time you choose to share the latest posts with your friends and co-workers, and I'll accept the bruise to ego each time you choose not to do so -- there's always tomorrow!
See you tomorrow with a brand new Big Yellow Sticky!
