Years ago I was on the phone with one of my mentors. The topic of the conversation I do not recall. What I do remember, was that I was trying to figure out the “right” way to do something. In my narrow thinking at that time I thought there was only one right way and one wrong way. When I was explaining to my mentor that I just wanted to find the right way she stopped me dead in my tracks. “Honey” she said, “There are 1000 ways to do something. 1000 ways to do it right, and 1000 ways to do it wrong.” It is a concept I have embraced from that day forward. I have embraced the wrong way, as much as the right. Interestingly, the “wrong” way has been right, as often as the right way, and vice versa. Get out there and find your 1000 wrong ways…
