“Magic Gratitude Challenge” Day 26 – Transform Mistakes to Blessings

Have you ever seen a baby, just learning to walk, fall down? What does he do? Get back up and try again! (Well, sometimes he cries for a moment and then gets up, but he never stops trying.) Yet, as adults, how often do we have a small mistake and just give up? Imagine if we had that attitude as babies. We would all be sitting around in strollers right now. Sounds silly, but it’s true!

Most of us are fortunate to be able to walk now, because we LEARNED from our mistakes and kept going. But are there areas of our life where we still are in a “virtual” stroller? If so, we need to get back that childhood attitude that it’s OK to fail, as long as we don’t give up! Here’s how we put this idea into action today:

1. Write 10 things you are grateful for.

2. Select 1 mistake you made at some point in your life.

3. Write down 10 BLESSINGS that came as a result of this mistake. Did you learn anything from it? Were there any good outcomes as a result?

4. For extra inspiration and knowledge read Day 26 of “The Magic” book. You might also want to read (or get the FREE audio trial of) “The Secret” for even deeper understanding.

5. Before bed, hold your magic rock and say thanks for the best thing that happened today.
