Are you afraid of making a mistake?

Let say " YOU have just made the mistake!!

Does this happen?

Are you expecting someone to say something to you about the mistake?

Are you around someone who seems to enjoy pointing out your mistakes?

What else happens?  What is your response?

                                                    How do you feel?

Does it make you feel bad!, hold you back, lead you into the dark, tear you down, lose your opportunities, drive insanity, burn you, drown you, destroy you, bother you, you can't sleep, feel like the end.

Do you know that all successful people that I know have made some pretty big mistakes.

Failures in life are great experiences as they can eventually lead you to your destination, as long as you don't give up.

When we take full responsibility for mistakes, we can learn from them. If we blame something or someone outside of ourselves, we will never learn.   No one starts-out at the finish line. Sure, some people have more advantages than others (birthplace, family wealth etc); but, those things are not the main determining factor in success.  We must be willing to go after what we want, recognizing that we WILL make mistakes and take away vital experience that we can apply later. That is the essence of successful.

The goal in life is to keep the mind open, take in everything, learn from your mistakes, and always move forward.

You should know that mistakes are part of our lives. 

 I learned that if I make a mistake, I immediately make a pact with myself to not fall into the same trap again, but to learn from my mistake. I learned the power of taking time off, listening and respecting , going with the flow, being easy on myself and finding happiness in the present. I, in a nutshell, learned to embrace imperfection and to find a valuable lesson in my mistake.

Do you love your mistakes now !!
