Moving Past Your Mistakes

Posted by: gretchen on August 21, 2008 |

I ran across this fantastic article by former Pets.com CEO Julie Wainright. It’s called Five Life-Changing Mistakes and How I Moved On and it’s worth the read. Bookmark it. Here’s an excerpt:

I would like to tell you that I was down but not out. That I just brushed myself off and got on with life. I didn’t. At first, I kept myself hyper-busy. That lasted for about three months. Then, I sank into a depression. I’m sure I was in shock for a long time. It was a very dark, confused time in my life. I kept pushing myself to get back to normal. That didn’t happen. I never got back to myself. I became better than I was.
