Everyone makes mistakes in life. It’s just a part of being human. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether they were big or small, we are not defined by our errors and oversights… ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ … But by how we choose to respond to them and the actions we take to fix them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For example, my friend--and today’s Early to Rise podcast guest--Rob Grupe made an admittedly BIG mistake that resulted in a 7-year prison sentence.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And while he COULD have let his misstep define him, sink to the depths of despair, and see himself as a “criminal” or “felon”, he choose to use his mistakes to transform his life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since his release, Rob has gone on to do some incredible things and he’s one of those individuals who inspires and teaches me something every single week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With his incredible attitude, he’s completely transformed his life and become a living breathing testament to the fact that redemption IS possible… No matter what you’ve done in the past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can promise, you won’t want to miss this one.
