You blew it. It was all your fault. You could have done better but you didn’t.

At some point for all of this, this is true.

We miss the mark. We make mistakes. We fall prey to temptation and make the wrong decision.

Part of life is deciding how to move forward in spite of our shortcomings.

We can choose to continue on, learn a lesson and do our best to do better next time.

Or we can choose to shrink back, ruminate on our mistakes and let our mistakes define us.

Choose to move forward. Choose to accept responsibility. Choose to grow.

Make it a great day.

Jake

PS – The central message of the Bible is that we ALL fall short and are still loved. Even more reason to move on and move forward.
