Before I call it a day and starting making my way home. I wanted to take a moment to just sit down and process what some of the things that I’ve been feeling and thinking about today. For the most part, I think today has been about remembering the lessons and the wisdom that I have gained over the years, and reminding myself that I now have a chance to do things right (thanks to everything I have experienced the first time around). For me, this isn’t just a second chance, but I’m also telling myself that we don’t always get many second chances in life. So I have to treat this as my last chance. This is not about “trying” to do things right. This is simply, “just do it right” kind of moment for me. Maybe it’s true the first time around. Everything I was doing was me trying something new. I was always challenging myself, taking risks, and never really knowing where it would lead me. There was no blueprint to follow, no one to guide me or show me the ropes. I had to basically figure it out as I went along.

But hey, now that it’s my second go at it, I know I no longer have the luxury of making that same excuse a second time. So, yeah, this time, I must do it right. Otherwise, I will have nobody else to blame but me. Maybe, somewhere in there, God allowed things to happen the way that they did. Maybe it was all part of His plan all along.

Anyway, question for you, what are some of the ways that you keep yourself reminded of the lessons and wisdom that you had gained from previous mistakes? I think its common human nature that sometimes we might forget. But how do we work around that? For me, I think keeping a daily private journal could help. Maybe put everything I have learned on the first few pages. Or 📌 it in digital form. How about you?
