Misteaks They Happen!

As designers sometimes we can get to a point of cockiness.  I mean you have to have a little edge and a bit of self confidence to be in this kind of work.  But nothing is more humbling then making a mistake.  Usually it's something so easy but just didn't catch.  Well today was a humbling experience for me.  Nothing big, just over looked a link I placed online. For a few seconds it seemed like the end of the world.  Now I have had my share of mistakes and typos in the past but each one hurts more.  The good thing is mistakes usually happen before things get better.  One little mistake caused me to step back and look at the overall process, to establish some check points and to even gets some help.  Yeah, I can't do it alone.  

A friend taught me today, even at the end of day I'm held accountable to my duties.  But as a leader I must learn my weaknesses and be able to delegate more in those areas. 

So you might think like me though.  What if I delegate something and it just doesn't work out or they mess it all up.  Well then now two people are learning from that one mistake.  

The moral of the story is mistakes happen sometimes with or without our control, however we can control how we handle those situations.  Learn your weaknesses and find those that can help you in that area.  

God, Help me to learn from my mistakes and to know what to delegate out.
