Mistakes Can Be Your Best Teacher

Hey, my friend,

We all have days or weeks when things do not go as planned.

A project you’re working on for weeks might be taking longer than expected, or a decision you made last week may not turn out the way you hoped.

I know it can feel frustrating and make you go really hard on yourself.

Does it help and change things tho?

It doesn’t.

But seeing the things that went wrong as opportunities to learn and grow definitely does, my friend.

So, every time something does not go perfectly, look at it as a chance to understand what happened and think about what you might do differently next time.

And, instead of focusing on what went wrong, try noticing what you can take from it.

Also, look at what you can do differently next time, and what you learn about yourself or the situation.

When you look at mistakes as lessons in that way, they start to feel useful rather than heavy or something that went wrong.

And, while doing so, remember that nobody gets everything right all the time.

Hence, allow yourself to stumble and still move forward.

Just give yourself some patience, celebrate what you did manage to do last week, and keep going with this week.

Wishing you a blessed and wonderful day ahead.

That is it for today, and see you tomorrow.

Take care,
