Laugh It Off

Listen to "Laugh It Off" on Spreaker. Nothing hurts worse then when we screw up. Instantly we label ourselves a failure and go back to the drawing board. We start over. No! Not anymore. Learning to live in the present means participating with the continuation. So you screwed up. The amount of time and energy spent to get to your moment of stumbling doesn't need to be relived. Teaching yourself to start over becomes an out of control addition. You only push yourself so far, the first sign of a storm you're starting over again or starting an entirely new project. Your success needs let downs. It builds your leadership strength. It teaches you awareness. The next time something doesn't feel right you'll be better prepared. Take notes. You don't have to be a daily writer but create a trail of experiences to watch yourself grow beyond starting over. I see people do it everyday with their careers and get horribly angry with themselves because there's no time to catch back up. There is if you allow the continuation have a voice in your present. It's not an easy walk but the payoff has plenty of stories to hold onto forever. If what you do was supposed to be easy we'd all be doing it. Be proud of your tumbles. Next time get it on video. One day you'll laugh about it.
