THE POWER OF MISTAKES- PART II

Learn From Your Mistakes

Two of the most difficult aspects of making mistakes are the unwillingness to accept responsibility and lack of courage to learn from such mistakes. Many people will continue to make the same mistakes all over again because of refusal on their part to learn from it. Most people who make mistakes live in denial of such mistakes or are too proud to accept responsibility. Instead, they choose to blame other people for their mistakes. However, refusal on your part to acknowledge your mistakes and take responsibility from them might lead to destruction.

One of the proofs that you acknowledge that you have made a mistake, is willingness on your part to change. Willingness on your part to make amends-to change the actions or habit that led to such mistakes. Your willingness to become a better employee or employer, a better spouse, a better leader, a better parent, a better child, or a better friend is proof that you accept responsibility for the mistakes you have made. It also shows that you acknowledge the fact that there is always room for improvement.

In addition, even society does not give us the allowance to make mistakes; we often make them at some point in our lives. We can experience the positive Power that Lies in Making Mistakes if we apply the courage to learn from them. The difference between being better or worse for the mistakes we make is the courage to learn from them. Your ability to learn from your mistakes will produce growth. It is not enough to accept responsibility for your mistakes; you must be humble enough to learn from them.
