Yay for mistakes! They teach us so much!
A mistake is generally an action or decision that causes some pain, embarrassment, loss or shit storm. As bad as it may seem at the time, icky errors are great opportunities to enhance our personal evolution. Absolutely everything is a learning experience and learning is fabulous! It creates a hungry mind, develops natural abilities, gives perspective and enriches life!
Growth and deeper truths blossom through mistakes. Kids learn material much faster when they get it wrong first. Our egos tend to justify screw-ups but if we admit, identify and learn, self improvement will happen.
“The decision that we might regret is only a temporary snapshot of a moment in time; whether we cement it into an eternity is our choice.” -Psychology Today. Awesome!
“Our beliefs about mistakes and failure limit us from moving into a deeper and richer relationship with life. The fear of making such errors keeps us trapped in the very narrow comfort zone of the known.”
When mistakes haunt us, it prevents us from living fully. It’s all part of the path in the sweet flow of life. Instead of being hard on yourself for screwing up, make your f-ups worth while and congratulate yourself for learning!
“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” -Gandhi
