Brian Johnson explains why admitting mistakes quickly and repairing the damage wins people over. Stop criticizing others and focus on yourself instead. Small, consistent actions compound over time to create real change.
Principle number 1, stop criticizing. Attend your own lectures. Figure out what you need to fix. Don't kick over the beehive if you want to get some honey, to use Dale Carnegie's story about it. Golden rule in every single faith tradition. Practice it today. Remember the platinum rule. Be nice to yourself as well. You make a mistake, which you will. There are no perfect human beings. None of us. Make a mistake, admit it, repair it as quickly as you can, and then find those moments today where you can connect with and admire someone and deepen your positivity resonance in the world. Those ripples go out. They make a difference. And of course, plus one. What was the idea that most landed for you? And how can you move from theory to practice to mastery just a little bit more today? It's these little, little distinctions aggregated and compounded over an extended period of time that will transform your life, help you be that best, most heroic version of yourself.
