What if you make a mistake?

My friend was in pain after a surgery. "I feel like I have to throw up," she cried, "what if I throw up?" I ran to get the trash can for her, "So, you'll throw up," I said. Some how that matter of fact attitude helped her. She shared with me later that she knew she would be ok even if she had to throw up. (Which she did.)

So, what if you made a mistake? 

So, you made a mistake.
It's just a matter of fact. It's in the past now anyway!
So, go fix it the best you can.

Maybe you made a mistake in your own life, maybe you hurt someone else, maybe you fell short in some way. OK. But the day (or night) is not over and you have a chance to do some repair work.

If you make a mistake, do NOT indulge in self pity and do NOT beat yourself up. No. Go back. Fix what you need to and then reroute yourself to be back on track. You keep getting new chances to do things the way you want to do them, with the grace, wit, joy, or peace that you want to bring into your life. You're doing it! Keep going.

Do your best to look for the signs--there are always warning signs. It may come in the form of sage advice from a trusted friend, or a feeling in your guts--an inner voice, or literally a sign like the one in our picture above. 

The bottom line is: Everyone makes mistakes. No exceptions. What you do now, how you take action to repair, is what matters.

  • 1) Forgive yourself
  • 2) Apologize where needed and even sometimes when you don't think you need to because that's a cheap price for peace
  • 3) Replace or Repair what you can where needed
  • 4) Learn from your mistake
  • 5) Now you're more than you were before the mistake, celebrate your growth

Baby steps ladies, just one step at a time and the results are spectacular!

Age Doesn't Matter!

Seriously. (Ok, I'm smiling.) I preach all the time that age doesn't matter in making a difference. You can be very young or very old and you can have an impact on one person or many. You can move one person deeply and she can move a million more. You do not know the reach of the good you bring to this world. 


Here is one young girl who has already touched over a million people who have watched her sing this song. Did her mother sing it to her? Or her preschool teacher? Or did she make it up from those who are influencing her? No matter what. You can shine your goodness, your message, into the world in bright and brilliant ways. Shine!
Love, 
Laya
