"Never convict an innocent person"

"Six Ways to Turn Setbacks into Comebacks"

Setbacks can leave a person wallowing in the muck and mire of past misery. And unless you are a little piggy, you have no business sloshing around in the mud!

World renowned speaker Willie Jolley says, “The past is a place of reference; not a place of residence.”

Far too many people convict themselves over and over again for past mistakes and mishaps.
Would a parent punish a teenager again and again for something the child did at age seven? What if a professor decided to penalize a student in March over and over for something the student did in September? That would be insane, right?

So why would you want continue to punish yourself in the present for an honest mistake you made in the past? You’re convicting the new and improved you for something that the old you did. If the statement “I made an honest mistake and now I know better, so I’ll do better” is true for you, then give the new you a pardon. What it boils down to is learning from the past, planning for the future, and taking action now.

What if someone else wrongly convicts, condemns, or mislabels you? Then remember…
