Every experience, joy, disappointment, and sorrow is a lesson. How did you handle success? Did you do so sharing it with those who helped you achieve it or with arrogance, hubris? How did you handle disappointment? Did you assess the problem looking for ways to improve and be successful in the future? Or did you look for someone else to blame, criticize? Every experience can provide opportunities to learn and sometimes change the world around us.
The measure of a person is how they take responsibility for their actions, own and correct their mistakes, and move forward in a way that positively impacts their environment.
Everyday is an opportunity to influence your community and the people around you, learn from your daily interactions. It’s a big world out there—don’t be confined by geography or fear. Be the catalyst for positive change instead of waiting for someone else to do the job. It begins with you. (Esther 1-10)
