So you made a mistake?  Stop fretting over it!  Don’t let a mistake wreck you, instead learn from it and move forward!  Too many times in life, we let our mistakes get us off track.  And if we don’t let it get us off track, there is usually someone close by, who is  more than willing to throw it up in our face to try to help us get off track!

The truth is:  We all mistakes!  If you are a human being, then you have made and are going to make mistakes.  It does not matter how talented and gifted you are.  As human beings, we are created with free choice and choice means every now and then you are going to make a bad or wrong choice.

Don’t let mistakes get you off track, hold you back or get you down.  Just make sure that you invest a little time to learn from the mistake.  In fact, if you learn from the mistake, then you get to move it from the mistake category to the education category!

What did you learn today???

I listen to a fair amount of speaking and preaching to help encourage and grow me to try to keep my mind focused in the right direction.  One of the things that almost every speaker that I have heard talks about is ATTITUDE!

I have heard, read and even said many times that “Attitude Is Everything!”  I don’t really believe that!  I don’t believe it is everything, but I do believe that it is a very big something!  A wrong attitude will mess everything up, while the right attitude will help everything to be better.

One of the biggest battles I have faced and continue to face in my life is keeping my attitude right!  John Maxwell says:  “Attitude isn’t everything, but it is the one thing that can make a difference in your life.”  We need to think about our attitude.  We need to work on our attitude.  We need to make our attitude better.

You have a choice and you have the power to decide and make a difference for you!  You can have a good attitude or a bad attitude.  You can have a positive attitude or a negative attitude.  You get to decide for you!  It does not matter what anyone else does to you or says about you.  You and you alone control your attitude.

Attitude can make or break you.  Living with a positive and right attitude can make all of the difference in your life, while living with a bad attitude can keep you from experiencing amazing blessing.  Take a moment today to do an “attitude check”!  How is your attitude and what can you do to make it better?  Really take some time to think about this.  Be honest with yourself and do what you need to do to get a better and more positive attitude – you will be glad you did!

My phone is great!  It let’s me talk with people, with it, I can take pictures, it will tell me what the weather is going to be, it allows me to buy things and will even let me throw birds at pigs!  Pretty cool device, but there is one problem!  Every now and then, I forget to plug it in and the battery gets low.  My phone is pretty much useless without the power of the battery, so I have to plug it in and let it recharge!

In each of our lives, we have a power source.  Allow your power source to become too low without recharging and you are going to be in serious trouble.  Our power source is our heart and we need to stop and take time regularly to make sure that it is getting recharged!

How do I recharge my heart?  By spending time with my Creator!  I plug-in and I use the gifts He has given me and discover inspiration that does amazing things.

I open my eyes and take the time to look around me and I appreciate all of the beauty.  I listen beyond what I can hear and hear something that most people miss.

I touch and am touched by other human beings with the realization that we really do all need each other!  I breath in and smell the power of the living and I breath out and lay claim to impossible possibility!

When I actually take the time, I can taste that life is good and my heart is recharged and I am ready!

Ready for what?  Whatever great adventure is next coming my way!  Live blessed!
