Life Is Learning-Learning To Love Yourself

OK so you ate too much, made inappropriate choices, or skipped your exercise routine.
How many times have you smacked yourself up side of the head when you screwed up with a customer, client, or associate?
How long did your dragon inner critic rear its ugly head as it bit off yours?
Time to put a muzzle on that nasty little inside devil and cut yourself some slack.
OMG, have you ever sent a sensitive email to the wrong person?
Or worse yet, sent a private email to a whole group?
YIKES! Head hung in shame, I admit I have done both.
And why did one of them have to do with a private health issue my friend wanted kept confident? Guess what. The whole group rallied around my friend. She had so many people praying for her! She was a dear and forgave me immediately. I,on the other hand, beat myself up royally. To what avail?
What is done is done.
You can’t go back in time.
Cut yourself some slack.
Life is learning, and most importantly, learning to love yourself. Forgiving yourself and move on. Write your name on a helium balloon with the words, “I forgive ME!” Take it outside and launch it off. Along with your shame.
Bill Gates is right: “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning”.
Even if the most unhappy customer is YOU!
Big hugs,
Judy

My husband sent me this on a day when it seemed all the cards in the deck were stacked the wrong way. Murphy’s Law was alive and well-ensconced somehow in every hour. Computer problems, hitting every red light, clients late for their appointments, stuff I couldn’t find. And four radio show requests just happened to crop up all at the same time. Lots of work to prepare.
