A Fresh Start

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "Failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. ~Mary Pickford

How do you handle setbacks?  Mistakes or disappointment?  What do you do in the aftermath?  Do not wallow in self-pity and give up.  In the moments following the identification of the issue, realization of the error, resolve to make it better and different.  Take this fresh perspective and experience to heart.  This mistake has created the opportunity for you to do it bigger, better, smarter the next time.  It has created the opportunity for you to reassess and tweak the plan.  In the scheme of the Universe things happen for a reason but free will is one of the most powerful forces on earth.  So get up.
