The Principle of An Honest Mistake
The principle of an honest mistake is a phenomenon which begins with making a decison to do something. Then you throw yourself wholeheartedly into that decision only to find out that the information you based it on was wrong…
By the time you found out the information was wrong you were already committed and “down the road” with your time, energy and commitment… Did you just stop and give up?…Or did you face the reality, find a solution and continue to move ahead and still reach your goal?
In “The Intentional Prosperity™ System” I refer to this phenomenon as “the principal of the honest mistake”…
What it comes down to is this:
You are never punished or put at a disadvantage because you made an honest decision based upon faulty information…
Ask anyone who has succeeded in life by following their passion and they will acknowledge and verify this amazing phenomenon taking place in their own lives…
You can base an honest decision on completely faulty information (I’ve done this many times haven’t you?) and through an amazing unexplained sequence of events you are shown what the faulty information was and given a chance to adjust…
And still reach and achieve the goals you wanted to!
But there’s a catch: The initial decision has to be made from a pure agenda! It must come from the most honest place you are capable of…
What this means is that your intent is for good… Good for yourself and good for others.
That’s the difference between those who base a decision on faulty information and still succeed at reaching their goals versus someone who fails… It’s all in the agenda which drives the decision…
The principle of an honest mistake requires an honest attempt from an honest place inside you…
It’s the honesty that makes the principle kick in and still bring you to the desired outcome. You see, when you are honest there is a natural tendency to seek the truth… Believe it or not this tendency is always rewarded with clarity… The ability to see through the maze and find the pathway that gets you to your desired outcome…
So making an honest mistake is always a powerful learning experience… Because it is life’s way of giving you the most personal of all possible lessons on how to get to where you want to be from where ever it is you begin your journey…
