Mistakes - everyone makes them

What is that seeping into your veins?

You know if you insert this into your blood stream it will ruin your life?

I am speaking of mistakes.

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 more about yourself and the operation that surrounds you. Whether that operation is filled with family, friends, co-workers, ideas, school, etc...

The key is to not to allow these 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 now you understand what detail to observe and also what not to do.

Mistakes help to tailor and stream line your movements.

This week keep moving and pushing.

Mistakes...the best leaders make them. It does not mean you give up. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he said "he lacked imagination and had no original ideas."

Go out and make this week yours!!!

In the words of a leader that has made many mistakes, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop".
