I want to make lots of mistakes. I just don’t want to keep making the same mistake over and over.
We are taught or conditioned that we need to get to this place where we make no mistakes. If you are learning, growing and trying things you have never done odds are you will make mistakes. The more things you step out of your comfort zone and try the more you risk mistakes. Keep doing the same thing again and again, going the same places the less risk of mistake.
Being willing to make mistakes doesn’t mean I won’t pay attention, put in hours of practice or try my best at what I do. It means I am willing to risk making mistakes to keep trying to stretch further and go outside my comfort zone in everything I do.
So mistakes are a natural part of the learning process that need not be feared. Learning from them gives you the opportunity to go even further the next time.
What do you think, does learning from a mistake make it worth it?
