[...] 8. Stop the bleeding. You won’t be able to heal this wound until you stop the bleeding. Once you know you made a mistake, don’t keep making it! Dedicate your energy to new beginnings, instead. Quit looking in the rearview mirror and concentrate on the road ahead so you can learn to choose wisely. [...]
Your bullet points are very well said.
I particularly like this one, “If you made a mistake, correct it; don’t make it worse.”
Bamboo Forest – PunIntended’s latest post… Why You Should Accept Everything in Life Just the Way it is
Hi, Bamboo Forest! Nice to see you here (I’ve seen you around the blogosphere for a while).
Yeah, that one is a biggie because sometimes, when we make a poor choice, we rationalize our way into continuing to make that bad decision over and over again. Then it’s even harder to get back from the hole we dug ourselves. It’s best to recognize the mistake and quit making it.
Hello,
First timer here… found ya via howtomakemyblog. I’m Miguel, anyhow. I really like your points here, especially the first two. I’ve know the benefits of a plan but also know the pain of being led by unhealthy habits.
Say a close friend once said, “Know your plan and work your plan.” Cheers!

PS, I’ll give ya a follow on Twitter.
Hi, Miguel! I’m so glad you are here… and welcome to Q4B! It’s funny, this was one of my earlier posts, before I realized I would become a “blogger” or keep at it for very long. I keep thinking I should go back and revise it to make it more impressive. But, the fact is, this came from one of my journals a while back when I was really struggling with one bad habit in particular. These were the words that got me through it. Simple but true.
I’ll go look for you on twitter, so I can follow you back. =-)
