You Made A Mistake

You made some mistakes last week. Do you even care?!?

You should...but to a certain point.

Do not wallow in the mistakes of last week, just write them down and recognize that it was not a mistake but an opportunity to learn. To learn about yourself and the operation surrounding you. Whether that operation is filled with family, friends, co-workers, ideas, school etc......

The key is not to allow those mistakes to be your stop sign, your road block, or your cause for confusion. You can not turn a mistake into an emotion. An emotion that seeps into your blood stream and causes you to question who you are, who you are meant to become, and your present task at hand.

Mistakes are meant to help form your experiences. I compare mistakes to a video game. In some video games a player has three lives. Once you make three mistakes, you...as the player dies. But do you stop playing...No!!! You recognize it and now you play more proficiently because you know what detail to watch and what not to do.

Mistakes help to tailor and streamline your movements.

This week keep moving and keep pushing.

Mistakes...the best leaders make them. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he said he "lacked imagination and had no original ideas". That did not stop him from his goals.


Go out and make this week yours!!!!
