Many of us seek consolation in the words of Frank Sinatra Stephen Strasburg Womens Jersey , ?I did it my way.? I say many of us because I feel this trap has snared more than just me. Oh, it is a trap, alright, a way to defend our defiance, combat accountability, and excuse our own stupidity.


Maybe Victor Robles Womens Jersey , we don't even say it aloud if our inflated egos and economic attainments have enabled us to dupe ourselves and fool a few others? Well, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could learn from the mistakes of others rather than only our own?


Scripture says, ?There is a way that seems right to a man but the path thereof leads to death and destruction.? The Bible is chucked full of examples of foolish men who learned that their ways didn't work, while God's way invariably did, at least, for those who were still alive and willing to make life-course corrections.

Best of all Matt Adams Womens Jersey , I have been given a chance to pause, reflect on my previous mistakes, and admit my fallibility both in sound judgment and in my treatment of others.


So, now I write some of the understandings that I have been led to in Free Reprint articles and have published a mystery novel, For Sale By Owners:FSBO, which discloses other mistakes too many unthinking and 'did it my way? people make. I selected the novel format because it allows me the freedom to create hypothetical scenarios and fictional characters to expose real dangers.


Here is an unsolicited e-mail I received from one reader:
