Life is a Journey - Not a Guilt Trip! Morning Minute 9.26.25
|
Reader: Don't allow past mistakes or events destroy the rest of your life! Morning Minute 9.26.25 “Life is a Journey – Not a Guilt Trip!” Reflecting on past mistakes or painful events can be helpful when it leads to learning. But when we let mistakes or events consume us, they take control of our future. The real question is: Which journey will you take—guilt or growth? MISTAKES: Which journey would you take? EVENTS: Which journey would you take? Both scenarios reflect real-life challenges. Whether caused by your own choices or circumstances beyond your control, the truth remains: setbacks are part of life. What matters is how you prepare for them and/or how you respond to them. Here are four actions to help you stay on the right path: 1. Put God first in every decision. His plan for your life is always infinitely better than what you can design alone. 2. Learn from the mistakes of others. Their consequences can serve as a warning for you. 3. Study the winning paths of others. Success leaves clues—follow them to avoid career-ending or family-destroying errors. 4. Anticipate life-changing events. Planning won’t remove your pain or loss, but it can lessen the hardship, replace the income, and speed your recovery. And remember: “Life is a Journey – Not a Guilt Trip!” That is today’s Morning Minute. *** *** If a family member, coworker, or someone you know may find this message helpful, interesting, and/or informative, please share it with them.
