It’s another Magnificent Monday!
You have been blessed to see the start of another glorious week. The slate has been wiped clean (of the good and bad). You have another opportunity to BE MORE and DO BETTER. This week can be your best week ever! Remember, success is just a string of successful weeks tied together.
Here’s a quote that is particularly insightful and motivating:
Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.
~George Soros
THIS WEEK’S TIP: Embrace the Unknown
Growth and expansion is part of our essence. You can not cease your desire to be more, do more and have more any more than you can stop the sun from rising and setting every day. I believe that in order to grow and expand, we must look forward to, make peace with, and fully experience the unknown. Yes, dealing with the unknown increases the possibility that you may be wrong about assumptions, estimates, predictions and decisions. Yes, when you are trying new things, the likelihood that your situation will take an undesirable turn is increased. That’s why being wrong every now and then is also part of our essence because it’s part of growth and expansion.
Think about it…what do you really learn from being right about something? Being right usually only reinforces what you already know. If you are only reinforcing what you already know, there is no expansion of thought, ideas and perspective of the world. Without this expansion of thought and experience, your ability to recognize and capitalize on change is limited. Few things undermine ambitions and destroy opportunities as much as the inability to recognize and capitalize on change.
There’s no shame in being wrong. Just don’t wallow in it when you find that you are. Uncover the lesson(s) being offered by the experience and apply it to future situations. That’s growth. That’s expansion. That’s the benefit of embracing the unknown.
THIS WEEK’S AFFIRMATION: I encourage my growth and expansion by looking forward to, reveling in and applying the lessons learned from experiencing new people, places and things.
Until next Monday, expect the best FROM and FOR yourself!
Profitably yours,
