Have you ever made a decision that you thought, at the time, was fabulous and then find out it was more than you bargained for? No, I’m probably the only one who’s ever done that. I’m kidding of course; we all do this; I think it’s called living. Here’s my most recent story.
For any of you who have been following, I started with a great company who promised “easy” money using the internet. To be fair, if you have the internet skills, this company would probably work. My challenge was that I don’t have all the internet skills to be successful. And we all know what that means – it cost me money and not just a little money.
Fortunately, I came to this revelation sooner rather than later and gave up my internet millions (earning them and, more importantly, spending them). It’s hard to admit making a mistake. We like to believe we are intelligent and can make wise choices. What I continue to learn is this – we become wise through our mistakes and our willingness to admit them, accept them, move past them. I’ve already accepted this one and here’s my admission to the world that I made another boo-boo. Now, I’m ready to move past this and use what I learned to make my real business, my Let’s Do Tea business, better than it was before.
That’s really the important thing. Realize and know that you learned something through the experience and, for heaven sakes, use that knowledge to make your life, and the world, better.
Enough of philosophy, it’s time for tea. Will you join me in a cup?
