How to Make the Best Mistake Ever

What would you think if I told you to celebrate your defeats? Well
get ready because I am, in fact, about to tell you that.

I want you to celebrate your defeats this week and see what
happens. Seriously. Give it a try.

Celebrating defeats de-mystifies them. Defeats are not the
monster you build them up to be, they are actually your best
teachers. Successful people throughout history, in fact, know
that defeats are to be cherished as learning experiences.

Unfortunately, unsuccessful people see defeats as a bad sign
and sometimes quit. But that is not your fate; when the road
gets rocky in your life this week and your obstacles distract
you from your goals, you will embrace your defeats as a natural
part of your personal and professional growth!

And, as always, humor is your best ally in embracing your
defeats. A joke under analysis is, after all, a wonderful
analogy for a defeat.

What is a defeat, really? A defeat is an unplanned (and often,
unwanted) outcome; a knee-bending curveball thrown when you
expected a big, fat fastball over the heart of the plate! We've
been taught by well meaning people to hate these unexpected
turns of events we call "defeats."

A joke is an unplanned outcome; a missing step that sends you
into a pratfall when you expected a thirteenth stair. We've been
taught, correctly, to love these unexpected outcomes we call
"jokes."

Why do you love one (jokes) and hate the other (something
turning out differently than you planned) when, in principle,
they're the same thing? This week you won't! You will take your
same love of humor and apply it to your defeats!

You know what you're going to find? You'll have so much energy
and move past those mistakes like a hot knife through butter. On
to the next thing, you'll shout with a smile!

Look out world, here you come!

Some Humor to Help You Smile

"Tobacco companies will stop at nothing to win the tobacco
wars. Now their scientists are saying that some of the smoking
research data is no longer valid, because the rats have to step
outside their mazes to smoke."
