One of the greatest things you can do is make other people around you better. This can be done in a couple different ways. The first and most important way is to be 100% yourself. When you are yourself then you give other people permission to be themselves. Don’t hold back and give it all you got. Effort is contagious so lead by example. The second thing you can do to make other people better is to have empathy. Listen to people and see their point of view. Change your perspective so you have a better understanding of what they are going through.

To embrace failure is not to make failure feel better. Failure feels terrible and it should feel terrible. To embrace failure is to feel this terrible feeling. To soak this feeling in and do whatever it take to not feel it again. To use failure as a learning opportunity. When failure happens the important thing is to reflect on the failure and be curious as to why it happened and how you can avoid it next time.
Failure can be a motivator because it is so painful. The pain should not stop you from taking action the pain should motivate you to be more prepared. Failure can not be avoided but can be mitigated. The mitigation is your preparedness. How much did you practice? How much did you learn? How much effort did you put in?

Blog #168 – Make each day your MASTERPIECE
Everyday you start out with a blank canvas of 24 hours. You can paint stick figures or you can pain the Sistine Chapel. What you do is up to you. It does not matter what you skill level is.

If you put in life change, bigger yourself, Sistine Chapel effort you will get a greater reward. The reward will not just be monetary but also spiritually. You will be proud of yourself on many different levels.
The reward is not directly proportional to the amount of effort you give. The reward is in proportion to the amount of value you give.
