MISTAKE vs DECISION

Have you ever known someone to claim something they did or said was a MISTAKE, when you know it was really a DECISION?  Yeah, me too...

Everybody makes mistakes. That’s not the issue.

The issue is what we call things after they happen.

Because sometimes, what we label a “mistake” wasn’t an accident.

It was a decision.

John Dave for some INTENTIONAL talk about:

  • Mistake vs Decision 
  • 10 Times Bad Decisions Get Labeled “Mistakes”
  • Why We’d Rather Call It a Mistake
  • 5 Public “Mistakes” That Were Really Decisions
  • 5 Ways to Address Bad Decisions Honestly
  • 5 Ways to Prevent Bad Decisions

You don’t grow from mistakes alone. You grow from owning decisions.

You’re going to have things happen to you. That’s life.

But you also have the chance to turn almost everything into something that works for you. That starts with honesty.

Call your mistakes - mistakes.
 Call your decisions - decisions.

And when one doesn’t go your way?

Don’t hide from it. Don’t soften it. Don’t send it off like a scapegoat.

Use it.

Because the moment you stop being the victim of your outcomes is the exact moment you become the beneficiary of your life.

Giddyup!!!
