LIFE LESSONS
If I knew then what I know now, I would have...
taken a few moments to sit back and reflect on an accomplishment and/or celebrate a success. In our quest for continued excellence, it is so easy to continue to focus on ‘the next goal or achievement’ without recognizing the journey that you or others have made so far.
If I knew then what I know now, I would NOT have...
let my own self-confidence hold me back from pursuing a goal. I have found we are much more capable of achieving things than what we think or believe we are. The human will and potential are great, and it is important to be reminded that we should not fear failure.
