Do you accept mistakes?

We all make mistakes, its part of being human – they are a natural part of life.

There are however a lot of negative connotations around making mistakes, which can lead to each of us avoiding things that may stretch us.

Yet, getting it wrong is often the best way to learn.

Albert Einstein once said, ““Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

In fact, giving ourselves permission to fail takes courage!

That may even feel scary too, because it may make us a little vulnerable.

Learning from mistakes can be challenging.

Yet, mistakes are actually very valuable, as long as you learn from them, grow from them, and improve yourself.

Indeed, mistakes are an opportunity to do better next time, and we should make the best out of every mistake we make.
