Hey Panda Family,
Today is part four of our mini-series, "Talentless". This week our trait that requires no talent is Honesty. There is a powerful quote, "Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure". Everyone makes mistakes. Somedays I feel like I am leading the pack. Most mistakes are little and some are larger. However, we never want to turn any mistake (that is normally fixable) into a larger problem because we are trying to cover it up. Saying "I'm sorry" or "I will be better next time" is so powerful. Telling the truth sometimes is hard, but it is also so powerful. It is so important that we are honest with ourselves and others. It is one of the biggest topics I try to teach our kids when they get in trouble. Honesty builds trust and trust builds lasting relationships. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
