CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I finished listening to “The Four Hour Workweek” a couple of weeks ago and I remembered I had saved a couple of quotes from the book for a Q.  Fast forward to the night before the beatdown, when I had just found out a vacation I thought I had booked for someone (I’m a travel planner) had actually been canceled due to an error on my part and they are traveling in a little over a month. Well the hotel they had is no longer available.  I felt sick and lost sleep over this.  I finally decided there was nothing else I could do that night so I had to prepare for my Q.  I looked up the quotes I saved and of course they both were about making mistakes.

“There are 2 types of mistakes.  Mistakes of ambition and mistakes of sloth.  The first is the result of a decision to act, to do something….  The second is the result of a decision of sloth.  To not do something.  Where we refuse to do something out of fear.”

“Only those who are asleep make no mistakes”

Ingvar Kamprad ~ founder of Ikea

Don’t fear making mistakes.  Own them.  Learn from them.  Give yourself grace.

And in case you were wondering: Fortunately the family was very kind and gracious toward me.  They found another option and I tried to make up for it by throwing in a VIP experience on me.  Things probably would have been fine without adding on the VIP experience but I felt it was the right thing to do

CIRCLE OF TRUST / BOM:

“To be secure means to isolate and fortify the “I” but it is just the feeling of being an isolated “I” which makes me feel lonely and afraid. In other words, the more security I can get, the more I shall want”. To put it still more plainly; the desire for security and the feeling of insecurity are the same thing. To hold your breath is to lose your breath.” – Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity
