How to Stay Inspired Through Adversity - Zoltán Szentkirályi

As a kid growing up, I had insecurities, like any kid! These personal, family, and social insecurities provided the first set of challenges for me to overcome. Little did I know that believing in the best possible outcome as a kid, even in the midst of turmoil, would become a powerful positive habit that would help me overcome adversity as an adult. From middle school, to high school, to college and beyond, I embarked on an inspiring journey of favorable outcomes fueled by the strong educational upbringing from my parents, in spite of our low income family status.


Believing in positive outcomes empowered a high degree of risk-taking in my adulthood. I moved to Chicago straight out of grad school to work for Nielsen TV Ratings, a small niche field, away from family and local comforts. After being quickly promoted, I embraced that work for a few years. I then joined an up-and-coming rock band, toured regionally, resigned from my senior statistician job in my mid 20’s, and moved to Los Angeles to be a rock star. In this 5-year effort, I gained accolades as a musician, survived the grief of my father’s passing, and escaped from Hollywood intact.


I landed in Dallas, TX to re-envision my career as a musician and statistician. Putting my faith to work at a local church, I was again inspired to believe in great things. As the church was running out of funds, I negotiated a daycare startup that kept the church doors open. That year I also bought my first home and met my wife! The thrill and passion of marriage was pure bliss, until it turned into a worst case scenario of survival distress I could’ve never imagined. The years of possibility thinking became a blueprint for staying inspired through the adversity.
