Wrong decisions provide the experience for right decisions

We don’t always make the best decisions.

We do things that don’t pan out very well.

We say something hurtful.

We make investments that go south.

We pursue opportunities that result in dead ends.

Sometimes, this isn’t our fault.

Circumstances out of our control affected our outcomes.

Other times, this is totally our fault.

We knew we were doing something stupid.

We knew we weren’t doing due diligence.

We knew we were taking a shortcut.

Regardless of fault, it’s on us to determine how to move forward.

We can learn.

We can grow.

We can take whatever lessons we can from the wrong decisions we’ve made.

We can then apply what we’ve learned in the future.

We’ll still make wrong decisions.

We’ll still screw up.

Hopefully, though, those screw ups will become fewer and further between.

Less consequential.

We’ll make better decisions.

Those wrong decisions are a key part of this process.

A key part of shaping the person you become.

Wrong decisions provide the experience for right decisions.

Why view those wrong decisions with anything but appreciation?

Did you not learn and grow through their lessons?

Let yourself make mistakes.

Let yourself lose.

Let yourself fail.

Then push yourself to improve.

You are worthy of the best life.

That will take effort.

Trying new things.

Taking risks.

It won’t always go as planned.

That’s okay.

Keep doing the work.

Keep showing up.

You’ve got this.

What’s actually happening?

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

You'll never hate yourself into loving yourself
