When you make a mistake, it is not the end of your life. In short, it is the beginning of a new day, of a new life, of a new you.

When you make mistakes, don’t deny them, own them. You learn from them when you own them.

If you want to learn more from your mistakes, don’t be afraid to make one or two mistakes. But do not make it a habit. It is good to make a mistake, but do not do it every day.

Mistakes are opportunities to know more about your world. So when you make a mistake, instead of beating yourself up, take it as a learning opportunity. Anthony Robbins says, “Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Do not try to be perfect.” Yes, he is right.

“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.”- Nikki Giovanni

Learn from your mistakes. Do not avoid mistakes. When you avoid mistakes, you are avoiding your own growth. Remember, nothing is going to happen if you don’t embrace mistakes. So why avoid mistakes? You are going to make more, anyway.

“There are no mistakes,” only lessons. There are no mistakes, only opportunities. According to Richard Bach, “There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.”

Do not let the fear of mistakes stop you from living your true life. Whatever you are doing, don’t expect it to be perfect the first time. It is not going to be perfect. Because you are doing it for the first time. Barbara Sher said, “You don’t have to get it right the first time.” No one gets it right the first time. So be comfortable with mistakes. And you will grow.

This Is What You Get When You Lose Touch With Yourself

You are in touch with yourself when you live in harmony with yourself. We suffer when we don’t listen to our true selves, when we don’t pay attention to what is going on within us.

You hear more when you listen. You hear yourself when you listen to yourself, not to others.

We don’t know who we really are because we are busy chasing wordly things. You can change it. Eckhart Tolle once said, “When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch withb yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.”

People lose touch with themselves when they are not comfortable with themselves, when they don’t trust themselves, when they don’t love themselves, when they are sacred to face their lives. Remember, if you do not have the gut to face yourself, then you are going to find it difficult to live a peaceful life.

No matter what, be there for you. If you are not there for you, no one can be there for you. And if you are there for yourself, for you, no one can be against you. As Dr Phil McGraw put it, “You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you.” Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life.

No matter what is going on in the world, always listen to your soul. It is important. And do not be scared to be your own cheerleader. Be your own friend. Love yourself, no matter what. As Maxwell Maltz once said, “If you make friends with yourself, you will never be alone.” If you don’t want to be alone, you must be comfortable with yourself.

If you are not comfortable with yourself, you are going to be alone. Do you want that for yourself?
