On The Cusp...

 On The Cusp...

Nope, sorry Senores, this piece is not related to the cosmic world, not even astrology but take it for what it literally means, this is all about CUSP and how being in that CUSP is most crucial to influence and shape the end-result that will happen next.  Come next day, most of us won't be in that CUSP.  Instead, the likelihhod is that, come next day, we could have ended up in a much better shape or things simply worsened with our situation.

In real terms, after we pass through a CUSP, either our umbrella is still standing upright or the umbrella has been blown away.  But instead basking in the light of a success or sulking as an aftermath of a failure, can we step back and do a post-mortem as to what exactly happened during the CUSP ?  How we handled the CUSP decided today's outcome.

So what exactly are these real-life CUSP scenarios ?  In the academe, you could be in that CUSP where in your senior year, you were about to overtake the previous #1 ranked student for you to garner the valedictorian award !  In relationships, you could be in that CUSP where your relationship with your spouse was about to take the next level of robustness.  At work, your career could have been in that CUSP where your trajectory was going upwards ?  If you were an entrepreneur, your business could have reached that CUSP where it was about to take a quantum leap in terms of sales revenues ?

In general terms, in numerous times in our life, we are ON THE CUSP towards achieving SUCCESS and while a good percentile do end up successful, what throws us off the chair is that high mortality of FAILURES despite being ON THE CUSP of SUCCESS. Two common culprits of failures despite being ON THE CUSP:  C & C [over-CONFIDENCE and COMPLACENCY], period.

Nothing fancy in this poster except that this tells us that FAILURE is not an option in life and regardless of your travails in life, it has to be SUCCESS or bust.  And you won't settle on a result even if it s a half-step away from SUCCESS because even a shortfall of about a half-step is still a failure no less.  Lessons here?  Let us NOT miss out grabbing every opportunity if that leads us closer to the very portals of success.  BTW, being ON THE CUSP does not equate to success.  It does not even round off to success.  You gotta hit pay dirt before you declare that you're BEYOND THE CUSP.⏳⏳⏳
