Act, Learn, Refine. Repeat.

In the book Now, Discover Your Strengths, authors Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton advocate building strengths, not correcting weaknesses.

In doing so, you'll make great progress, but you'll sometimes slip.

The process is simple:  act, learn, refine. Act, learn, refine.They call it the essence of strong living.

Carl Jung captured this spirit, "Fidelity to the law of your own being is...an act of high courage flung in the face of life."

The book is focused on work-related success, but the mantra applies to all of life.

So, here's to stumbling with grace.
