10 Nov People are counting on you. That person might even be you, so be ready to respond.
Ownership is common sense. To own something means to have full control over it. Ownership is different from renting because it comes with responsibility. Last week, I made a mistake that impacted something important to someone else. My actions showed poor judgment, and the other person was right to be upset.
What happened next is important: I took responsibility for the mistake. Then I apologized, acknowledging my poor judgment and promising it wouldn’t happen again. This simple gesture restored a broken relationship and might even make it better than it was before. The strong response is always better than a weak reaction.
Lessons like this are straightforward but crucial to doing our best. Live a life that prepares you to respond when it matters.
This Christmas, give a gift that truly matters. Order Hard Comes First and gift it to that special person who has everything but could use a reminder of what really counts.
