We all make mistakes in life. Owning those mistakes are critical to our growth because there is no perfect person. We are trained to look at the gaps in our lives and that normally comes through our subconscious. It's been ingrained in us since early on in our lives.

But if we focus on those next actions, even baby steps, we can begin to identify the gains in our lives and reverse the mentality that holds us back from ever starting. Focusing on our gains and going back in time and counting our wins, even small wins, on the daily helps us bulletproof our minds from any outside forces. Just remember that you're here to live and fight another day. Focus on your gains from each experience rather than your gaps and you ultimately...
