Frustration or Lesson?

This morning started with a small panic.

I was trying to get out the door early for a workshop over an hour away. I knew traffic would be heavy, so I planned ahead. Shoes on, bags packed, ready to roll.

Except for one thing—I couldn’t find my phone.

Ten minutes passed. I retraced every step. No phone. I needed it for navigation and communication—non-negotiables when heading into unfamiliar territory. I started to feel the frustration creeping in.

Finally, I found it.

Tucked neatly into the pocket of the weight vest I wore earlier during my walk with Kix. The walk was productive, the vest did its job—and so did my forgetful mind, apparently.

Now I had a choice:
Be annoyed that I misplaced it… or learn from it.

Could I have gotten angry? Sure.
But would that help me improve? Not likely.

Instead, I chose to take the moment as a lesson. Put things back where they belong. Build better habits. Keep it simple.

The more we treat mistakes as feedback rather than failure, the faster we improve.
