Celebrate

"My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more."
- Og Mandino

This was the daily quote I received this morning and it got me thinking. We are often told to stop judging others, to be patient and see the positive.

What if we took that advice for ourselves? What if we didn't judge our selves but rather were patient and saw the positive?

Yes, we need to recognize when we make a mistake and learn from that. However, objectively viewing a situation and repeating a mantra of “how stupid” or “I never get that right”, “I can’t stick to anything” or “I make the worst choices” are 2 very different things.

We only learn to walk by falling down. We only learn to talk by making some very strange noises. So if you sound silly or if you are falling down a lot then I say “Good for you” because you are growing. So give yourself some advice for doing it better next time, then give yourself a pat on the back.

Today I am choosing to take my latest "failure" and have a celebration for myself because I learned a lot, I stayed strong and kept on moving forward - and that deserves a little chocolate!
