Learning to Love Mistakes

Learning to Love Mistakes

When we are young, we accept that mistakes are just a part of life. When we start learning to walk, we don’t fall down once and give up. We don’t hang up the keys if we scrape the car against the hedge along the driveway when learning how to drive in reverse (sorry, dad!). 

So why are we so unforgiving when we make mistakes as adults? Why do we blow them out of proportion until we become so scared of making mistakes we aren’t even willing to try something new?

Wouldn’t it be great if we could go back to recognizing mistakes are just mistakes? After all,  they’re what helps us learn and achieve!
