I tend to be a perfectionist, and as perfectionists go, I will stop doing something if I don't think I can get it right. But I am learning that you can drop a pass and it is not the end of the world. I had one of those moments playing high school football. I let that moment linger too long and I lost focus. (Basketball was something totally different. I can pass real well, just don't ask me to shoot.) This is where I rely more on my faith. For me, Jesus helps me return my focus. I have also learned that there are some things that I am doing that frustrate me because I am not gifted in that area. There are others who should be doing it. Kind of like passing the ball to the point guard so he can manage the play. The point guard is one the outside looking at the overall picture. The forwards and center provide options if he cannot push the ball into the paint. I have to learn to see the options. Anyway, great post.

I'm reminded of a quote... "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over in my life. And that's why I succeed!" - Michael Jordan Hope that inspires someone. Good reminder. I’m reminded of a quote…

You have the correct perspective when it comes to learning from your mistakes. Without them how do we learn and grow. Let's just say that I am far from my 30's and I am still making mistakes and still learning. I don't know what your personal spiritual beliefs might be but your note very nicely reinforced something I read just this morning in the 'good book'. I was reading in the new testament and in Philippians 3:13-14 it says - 'Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' Sounds like you're right on target. By the way, I really enjoyed (and I am benefitting from) 'Untold Marketing Secrets'. Thank you for giving back. Keep up the good work! Hi Jason,
