I enjoy learning from my mistakes

“Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”
― John Dewey

Growing up we were taught that mistakes must be avoided. Because of that we are scared of making any mistakes in our life, work, relationships etc.

Yes, we should avoid them, but.. come on we are humans!. Why giving a sh*t about them and stressing out if we accidentally made them. Actually this negativity what must be avoided, and be replaced with embracing our mistakes.

I always thought that admitting mistakes to myself or to other people is one my strongest skill that I taught myself hardly through the years. But what after that? feeling guilty? yes. anger at myself? yes. So admission still half the way through full embrace. Until I got extremely satisfied once I made one mistake that was so stupid. Seriously? How come? because I learned from it and that was the reward.

Mistakes are learning resource. With learning comes growth. Growth expands your knowledge. Great knowledge is one key to wisdom. And here is one quote that I love about wisdom:

“Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” — Alfred Lord Tennyson

Behind every mistake is a significant meaning. Go out and fail at something; make irrational decision; with every mistake a new lesson comes. But keep in mind: Making mistakes is okay, just not the same ones over and over again.
