Quote of the Week for President’s Day

In celebration of President’s Day, a quote from the birthday boy…

We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.  George Washington

These wise words from President George Washington serve as a good reminder for those of us who fret about the past.    Beating ourselves up about what might have been.

And  for those of us who can’t forgive and forget about the things that someone else did or didn’t do.

And for those of us who do a great job of shoving things under the rug – pretending they never happened – missing out on opportunities for growth.
