When I started this pot, this podcast A while back, I knew that I was going to make a lot of mistakes. And I did. Mine Association wasn’t as good as I would like for it to be. And it took me a long time to develop the content, and to make connections with podcast guests, and to edit the podcast. And so when I made a lot of mistakes, and I still do, but guess what, I’m getting better. And when you do things more and more, you get better, you get more comfortable, you get more in a groove. Now that we’ve gone through 100 episodes together. I expect to hopefully get better and be able to speak into your life in a more powerful way. Because that’s what this is all about. It’s my calling my drive and an order to help you to overcome adversity. The five days of adversity I believe for things like one D is depression. Another is divorce. Another one is debt as an financial debt, another one is disease. Another one is the death is death of a loved one. Well, we all are impacted by those things. And we all make mistakes when we deal with those circumstances. But it doesn’t have to always remain that way. We can power through our mistakes and come out to a better place, especially if we have some strategies and some encouragement. Here’s the thing. I bet you’re afraid of making mistakes I am too. But sometimes folks feel like they get frozen because of the fear of making mistakes. You know, we’ve all screwed up. We’ve all goofed up in some big way. Have you ever heard the story about wrong way Roy wriggles. Us nickname wrong way for what happened to him at a football game was 1929. He was the Rose Bowl, the biggest football game of the year. He was doing Georgia Tech and the University of California. A little bit before halftime, a man named Roy Eagles made a big, big mistake. He was a player for the California Golden Bears. And somehow he got the bear the ball and he got confused and he made a mistake and he started running in the wrong direction. Toward towards the opposing team’s goal line. One of his teammates was able to out distance him and run him down and tackled him, but not before he had run 65 yards and just short of scoring for the other team. And of course, Georgia Tech gained a distinct advantage through that error what should happen halftime came. The players went off the field and went to the dressing room all about all about Roy Regal’s. He sat down on the benches and on the floor and he wrapped himself in a blanket and around his shoulders. And he sat the corner and put his face his hands and he and he just wept. He just cried.

The coach called the players together coach, his name was coach price. And he struggled with what to do with Roy and he finally looked at the team and said men, the same team that played the first half will start the second and all the players have separate tried it out to the field. He stayed in the locker room, he didn’t budge. The coach looked at him and called to him again. He said coach price went him and said Roy, Didn’t you hear me? COACH? He said I can’t do it. I’ve ruined you. I’ve ruined the school. I’ve ruined myself. How can I face the crowd and that stadium is in there with the mistake I made. You know I can’t do it the saved my life but coach price put his hand on his shoulders and said royalty it up and going back. The game was only half over. And row row I went back into the game. And it said, but those who observed the game and by the opposing team no one will ever have seen a man play it better half of football than that second half that Roy Eagles played. So the next time you make a mistake friends to think about Roy wriggles wrong way, Roy was able to make amends because he was only half time and he’s able to get better. We handle mistakes. Friends, when we understand that this is not final mistake is not final. You don’t have to stay stuck there. Let me give you something called the ABC method of handling mistakes. The A is to acknowledge your air and accept responsibility for it. It’s gone, it’s of the past but you have to accept it. You have to acknowledge that you have responsibility for it. You can’t try to ascribe the blame on to somebody else. If you try to blame somebody else that will not fix the problem. The A is to acknowledge the problem and own it. To be is to be gentle, be kind yourself. Remember, just like wrong way Roy the go, the game is only half over. That mistake is not the only mistake you’ve ever made. It will not be the mistake you the last mistake that you make. You’re still a good person, you’re still a caring person. I like to call my listeners the good people. And later on, you might laugh about it. You might have a good time about it. You might be embarrassed about it, perhaps but you got to move on. Give yourself a break. Be kind to yourself, and to see is to correct it and move on. Learn from your mistake. correct your mistakes, make amends, make apologies if you have to, but get back in the game. Those who are wise, don’t consider it a blessing to make no mistakes, says the Chinese philosopher Wang Yang Ming, they believe instead the great virtue is the ability to correct mistakes and to continually reinvent oneself. So here’s my encouragement to you friends, as we begin our second 100 episodes of the pathway to promise podcast is know you’re going to make mistakes and make mistakes boldly. Go for it. That’s the power of making mistakes. You don’t have to do things. You know, you don’t have to be stopped by your mistakes. You just have to acknowledge it. Be kind yourself, correct your mistakes and move forward. Then good things are going to happen in your life.
