Ever felt confused between these terms? Youโre not alone. Even seasoned leaders sometimes swap them like theyโre interchangeable flight tickets. Letโs decode them with a little humor along the way.
๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ = The progress you make.
(๐โ๐๐๐: “๐ผโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ฆ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก.”)
๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ = Resistance that slows you down.

๐ The trick to remember:
โช๏ธย ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ = Whatโs in front (progress or obstacles).
โช๏ธย ๐ง๐ฎ๐ถ๐น = Whatโs behind (support or track).
โช๏ธย ๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ = Forces you canโt control, but you can leverage.
So next time youโre stuck:
โช๏ธย Celebrate your ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐
โช๏ธย Brace for the ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐
โช๏ธย Acknowledge the ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฎ๐
โช๏ธย And ride the ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐
Because in business (and in life), itโs not just about facing windsโฆ itโs about learning which way theyโre blowing and how to use them.
