Own your mistakes
+++++++++++++++++++
You’re going to make mistakes. When you do, acknowledge them, learn from them, and move on.
It all sounds so simple and obvious, as indeed it is. But that doesn’t mean it is trivial.
Each mistake can be either a powerful opportunity if you are honest about it. Or it can become a crushing burden if you’re not.
Some mistakes are costly. Yet the sooner you pay their price, the lower that price will be.
That’s why the moment you realize you’ve made a mistake is a moment to be thankful. For that’s when you can begin to transform the mistake from a problem into an opportunity.
Own your mistakes. And proceed to create real, positive value from the truth of what you have done.
