Making Mistakes

Corie Muldoon

Mistakes are only mistakes if we do not learn and change because of them.

The true mistake would be holding onto our mistake…

Dwelling on the past of how things could have gone differently.

Here’s a little 3-step system on using mistakes as a stepping stone to success:

  1. Find the lesson in the mistake: what is the universe trying to teach you right now?

    For example, if I am rushing around trying to get out the door and accidently drop a glass cup. Of course I’m immediately frustrated because I’m already late as it is, but I take a deep breath and laugh a little. “Yes I know I’m rushing around and need to slow down.” That’s the lesson: slow down, move at God’s speed, be in the moment, relax your nerves, getting worked up won’t make you un-late, don’t put yourself or others at harm because you are allowing your nerves to take over.

  2. Commit to making a change: in both thinking and behavior

    Going with the above example- once I find my lesson, which I shortly define as “move at God’s speed,” I immediately commit to making the change in my thinking and behavior. I clean up the broken glass with ease, breathing and working consciously to relax my nerves. I am feeling much more laid back and get to feeling that I will get there when I get there. I get to my destination 10 minutes later than I was scheduled to, however the person I was meeting was running even later than I was. Wow! Good thing I didn’t allow myself to stay worked up lol. Stories like this have definitely happened to me in real life, anyone else?!

  3. Give thanks: thank the universe for the lesson it has brought you ♡

Personal Growth

Corie Muldoon

Ever hear something and it just clicks? Somehow this new piece of information inspires you in some way to make a change or see things differently.

Some people call it a break through, golden nugget, ah-ha, personal growth.

You gained a new perceptive, and can now use that new perceptive to make future decisions.


Constant Adjustment

Anyone can grow as an individual, all it takes is constant adjustment.

Because what works today may not work tomorrow.

The plan you wrote up yesterday may not even make sense today.

What’s important is putting yourself and your growth first…

Remember: your life situation doesn’t have to be perfect in order for you to get better.

You can start today wherever and however you find yourself.

A little bit everyday adds up. Where are you now, where do you want to be, how are you going to bridge the gap, adjust your actions and reactions along the way.


Tend Your Four Areas

You can grow physically, yes…

You can also grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Being healthy and well rounded is important…

Because balanced energy is vital to long-term health.

Tend your four areas: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Each area needs proper attention to keep you thriving.


Commit to a Change

If you feel you are lacking in any area, take some time to learn a golden nugget or two that you can apply to life right away.

A little goes a long way overtime, and you’ll feel rebalanced in no time.

Before leaving this blog, commit to one thing that you are going to do regularly to ensure you are growing.

Continue to improve yourself and your life will improve naturally.


Some regular goals of mine to ensure I am constantly growing:

  • Read 10 pages of a self-improvement book a day
  • Listen to audible / self-improvement podcasts during car rides
  • Follow positive social pages, unfollow negative ones
  • Daily, weekly, monthly reflections
  • Set, plan, and review goals
  • Personalize the journey: incorporate more of what works for me



Happy growing!
