After a particularly tough session where things did not go as smoothly with a new training program as I wanted them to, I headed back to the office where I fumed and steamed for a couple of days over how things could have been done differently. Basically I beat up on myself and wasted a lot of energy and time that could have gone into other projects. I sent myself on a dead-end detour. We all make mistakes; they’re part of life. Take the time to acknowledge them, learn from them and then move on.

Cyrus Curtis, who once owned the Saturday Evening Post, had a sign in his office: “Yesterday ended last night.” What a great attitude. Dwelling on our mistakes does not undo them. The past is done - look forward to accomplish your goals.
