"Whenever you fall, pick something up." — Oswald Avery
Message from Dr. B. (Linda Paulk Buchanan): People who are highly sensitive or perfectionistic tend to try very hard to avoid making mistakes. But it's actually from the mistakes that we generally learn the most in life. I love the thought that "every time you fall, look for what you can pick up." It might be a new friend who has also experienced a similar situation. Have you ever had the absolutely, delicious experience of telling something to someone who then said, “I have that problem too.” Even better, is when the two of you begin to laugh about it. Such connection and growth is possible from our mistakes. As you have probably heard before, most problems are not obstacles, but opportunities. Develop a lighthearted, curious attitude when you fall. Stand up, brush yourself off, put a Band-Aid on your knee and look around for what you might not have noticed if you had not been down on the ground.
