It is what we do next that matters

We are all going to at times make some mistakes, behave in non-ideal ways, and seek comfort instead of being bold.

When those things happen, what matters most is what we do next.

We can either clean up our mistakes or hope that no one noticed. We can either apologize and even make amends for poor behavior or leave a trail of damage behind ourselves. We can either let ourselves off the hook with a “next time” or we can notice that we sought comfort and take the bold action immediately.
