"Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence"
When you experience something that creates an emotional reaction, focus on taking a moment to absorb the situation before responding immediately. This will give you time to look at the bigger picture vs. just seeing what is right in front of you. Many times, the mistakes we make though emotionaly charged decisions can be costly.

From my daughter Emma -

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” - John 8:7
We all sin - and to magnify or call out another's sin over yours is hypocrisy. I encourage you to focus on the positives of others, call attention to the good instead of bashing the bad. When we talk about or judge others, it says more about who we are than who they are.

“Every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new.”
We are all going to make mistakes – daily. Instead of beating yourself up over it, leverage this as a learning opportunity for yourself and for others. Don’t be afraid to share your experiences with others… leaders recognize and utilize their experiences to help others... even the painful ones. -
