Our mistakes have value; we can learn from them:

M essages that give us feedback about life
I nterruptions that should cause us to reflect and think
S ignposts that direct us to the right path
T ests that push us toward greater maturity
A wakenings that keep us in the game mentally
K eys that we can use to unlock the next door of opportunity
E xplorations that let us journey where we’ve never been before
S tatements about our development and progress
