So many people I coach are paralyzed by the possibility of making a mistake. "What if I fail?" stops them dead in their tracks, creating a fear of doing anything lest they get criticized by others or embarrass themselves or go bankrupt or a hundred other potential negative outcomes.

And I realize that trying to be perfect is a huge mental block, but then I think about Thomas Edison who discovered nearly two thousand ways not to make a light bulb before he got it right. And the country group, Alabama, seller of multiple platinum albums and owners of night clubs, played at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach for about 12 years before they became an "overnight success." Freshman Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team in Wilmington, NC. Robert Allen, the "No Money Down" real estate guru, went bankrupt at one time.

Listen to your life today and make a life, not just a living, and discover that God is in your life’s adversity, too, giving you everything you require to truly succeed. Make a mistake and learn from it as you listen to life today.
