The ability to be able to go again, learn from a mistake,

Use trial and error correctly, to improve upon and

ultimately prevail from doing so is a blessing from God

Life has a remarkable way of placing us at crossroads.

Some roads we chose well.

Others…

we wish we could travel differently.

The wonderful news is this:

Growth is not about pretending the past never happened.

Growth is about allowing the past to become your teacher instead of your prison.

SECOND CHANCES

We often believe second chances arrive only once.

Life disagrees.

Every sunrise…

Every apology…

Every act of forgiveness…

Every lesson finally understood…

Every decision to begin again…

is another second chance.

WORTHY NOTE

Humility opens doors that pride keeps locked.

THE INVITATION

Do not waste time wishing you had known then what you know now.

Use what you know now.

Become kinder.

Become wiser.

Become slower to judge.

Become quicker to forgive.

PUT LEGS ON IT

Call someone.

Write the letter.

Mend the relationship.

Correct the mistake.

Say thank you.

Say I’m sorry.

Take the first step.

Someone has to.

Why not you?

RICHIE’S OBSERVATION

Looking back, I discovered my greatest failures were often preparing me for my greatest usefulness.

THE DISCOVERY

Redemption does not erase yesterday.

It transforms tomorrow.

FINAL THOUGHT

The greatest gift is not a perfect life.

It is another opportunity to live this one better.
