What are the fundamental capabilities of a human system that are crucial to its capacity to execute flawlessly and innovate consistently?

The words you use to frame your current situation will change your mindset and elevate your mood. A positive mindset allows you to stay open to new possibilities where others see barriers, and a positive mood will lift your spirits and attract people in your life who will help, support or hire you.

Successful individuals in any field used positive words to frame an outcome. It's an imperfect world and despite hours of practice and years of experience, the ball won't always bounce your way. Now and again you will be dealt a bad hand or an unprecedented pandemic, and by default this will change your plans. 

I think the important thing is the path you travel and the people who accompany you, not the destination to which it takes you.
