Mistakes







From a very young age we are all programmed by society to want to be right and avoid being wrong. We don’t like being wrong it doesn’t feel good to most of us. The problem is you don’t learn anything if yo don’t make mistakes. Mistakes are like fertilizer for the brain.

 

I make mistakes all the time. I love them.

 

Every mistake I make requires me to evaluate the results I got, look at what got me there and come up with alternative to solve the problem. In other words to LEARN.

 

That’s why I love teaching so much. Every mistake my students make I get to be part of the process of evaluation, discovering and learning. I have learned much more from my students then they have from me. Each mistake they make is a gift.

 

So let go of your ego, delete the programming of the past and embrace your mistakes. They will take you far if you let them.
