Oops! I Did it Back Then

It's human nature to want to forget past mistakes.  Some of us go a step further and vow never to speak of our "greater" less flattering moments again.  In some cases the latter is probably healthy! On New Year's Eve I was on a red carpet interviewing Kim Kardashian.   I've interviewed her what seems like a 1000 times.  But somewhere between asking her about a music video she recently made and what food she can't live without...she gave me a new year end mantra!  At the end of December she and her family send out emails to one another recapping some of the year's highlights and successes and some of the mistakes and missteps.  This might be why the family has had so much success in the retail world and have become an international brand.  Sure, some mistakes are easy to correct.  However, others require some intricate dissection.  If we brush off our mistakes without giving them the proper attention...how can we be sure we won't make them again?  The same is true of all our successes and prize moments throughout the year.  If we don't look in detail how we got to a particular achievement we could overlook an important step in what "would've or could've been" another down the road.  I'm not sure how in-depth the Kardashian emails get but the foundation for greater chance of success in life is there!  Every December I'm going to start looking back through the year...month by month...the good and the bad.   Mistakes are inevitable, but some are avoidable too!  And, success is guaranteed only if you do the right things 100 percent of the time!  Forget yearly resolutions.  Yearly reflections are more worth while.  Thanks Kim!
