This example does help me AND thank you!

1. I screwed up as a peer today, failing to convert good intent into appropriate action. Regret stings so badly now, that the memory of the screw up is getting tattooed in my brain as a warning sign to be much more mindful and much more deliberate in how I show up with my peers.

2. Also, thank you for pointing out that in cases like this, optimism fails to repair. Instead, owning the cr*pot outcomes is a very honorable way of commuting to better actions.

Thanks for reading and engaging Alex. I'd like to be in a world where everyone was a little more willing to own mistakes and admit to being human. There isn't enough of it from leaders and teammates these days, and it explains the lack of trust in workplaces.

It sounds like you're letting your mistake hit home, and that inevitably leads to a better future outcome.
