Quote for Today


"Mistakes move me forward."

~ Virginia Kravitz, Life Coach ~ In The Current

Last Friday, I had the oppotunity to meet Virginia Kravitz, life coach and co-author of OASIS in the Overwhelm 28 Day Guide: Rewire Your Brain from Chaos to Calm


We spoke briefly about things that usually hold us back from living lives filled with passion, intentionality, and purpose.

For me, it is fear of making mistakes. Virginia said: "Think about this: Mistakes move me forward..." Thanks so much for the powerful reminder Virginia!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So the conversation with Virginia got me thinking: We always succeed in producing results. Results may not be what we expected or needed, but we can use our mistakes to learn about what works and does not work, and then try again. Mistakes indeed move us forward and can be a valuable learning experiences if we choose to see them that way.
Is there a mistake you made in the past that turned out into a learning experience for you? What lesson(s) did you learn? Is there a mistake in your life that you can choose to forgive yourself for, learn from and move on?

peace, hope and love,

Lily
