Good Morning,

Let’s face it. It is all about batting average. None of us is perfect. We all are, many times, wrong. The trick is to not let them get us down, rather learning from them and improving our odds for success.

The quote “Make all of the mistakes you can.” is attributed to John Dewey. Its’ premise is simple: we learn more from doing and doing does not guarantee success. We can either learn from the things we do, right or wrong and confidently move ahead with life or we can allow them to paralyze us, holding us back and keeping us from being all we can be.

Each of us has been given tremendous talent and abilities. Let’s confidently put them to use in our lives. If we stumble, we need to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and confidently move forward, learning from that stumble and, many times, as my mother used to say “Pick Up Your Feet!"

Today is Labor Day. Enjoy and confidently move through the week ahead.

Jim
