EDITOR FOREWORDS
UK FOREWORD Welcome to another content-packed issue of the Circuit! If you love reading the Circuit as much as we do, then you'll love the Circuit Magazine Podcast. We are all busy, but one benefit of our industry, if you can call it that, is the numerous hours we might be waiting for our principals. Why not fill up that time learning and developing your knowledge and staying tapped into the latest news and information in protection? As we head into the second half of 2021, the Circuit team continues to push out great content over many channels, including a weekly newsletter, magazine, podcast, and our exclusive community over in our apps. After getting into our offerings, please like, share, and subscribe if you like what you read/hear and want more of the same. Or even better, leave us a podcast review! The greater our reach, the more interesting people we will attract, which will benefit us all as well-informed operators. Meanwhile, the curtain just recently fell on the Tokyo Olympics. And after the last 18 months, it has been truly inspirational to watch athletes compete at the highest levels to achieve their dreams. Their dedication and determination are something to behold and shows us all that truly anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Life is tough, but opportunities will come your way if you apply and dedicate yourself to your craft, whether in sport or business. It has been a good reminder that we all have the chance to create the life we want with the choices we make.

Some things we will fail in, but as you get older and wiser, you will see that maybe you didn't fail. Maybe you just became more knowledgeable. The way I see it, there are two benefits of failure. One, you learn what doesn't work. And two, the failure allows you to try a new approach. Looking at things from a different angle with a positive mindset means there is a greater likelihood that positive things will happen. So, have a mid-year check-in and ask yourself: What more could you be doing that you are currently not that could help make your dreams a reality? Sometimes taking a moment of pause and reflection to look at where you are and what you have achieved can be extremely rewarding. It may give you the nudge to push that little bit harder to achieve your goals. Or, on reflection, you may decide you are happy with where you are at, which is fine also! Stay motivated and reward yourself for your small wins and share them with those that you love. Thank you all for the continued support shown for our publication. Your kind words and feedback are always greatly appreciated, and it gives us the motivation to continue delivering quality content. Wherever you are, stay safe and stay agile! Stay safe Shaun West Editor
