Why Making Mistakes Is Good For Your Growth

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Growth happens when we embrace mistakes. Mistakes make us stronger. When we embrace mistakes, we get better.

We get better when we learn from our mistakes. If you want to get better, according to Marty Neumeier, ‘You have to make bold mistakes. Smart mistakes. New mistakes. Because if you only do what you’ve always done, you’ll only get what you’ve already got.’

Take on mistakes. When it comes to your success, ‘every mistake brings you closer to the solution.’

Every mess up is a gift. Every mistake is a blessing in disguise. Embrace them. Never shy away from them. Take advantage of them. Fail more.

If you are tired of getting the same results, then try something new. ‘You have to try, fail, and learn.’ Because when you fail more, you grow more. When you fail more, you learn more.

When you fail more, you discover more. You make more. According to Marty Neumeier, ‘Making anything starts by making mistakes.’

How To Keep Growing

Growth never stops. It is a journey. If you want to keep growing, you must keep doing.

You must keep becoming. You must keep challenging yourself. Because we get better when we do more, when we focus on what is really important to us.

Do things that you have not done before. That is where learning is.

Do not settle for less. Doing less is not a strategy. It is going to keep you where you are.

To grow yourself, to expand your life, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘ … always aim slightly beyond your current abilities. … Focus on the metaskills that will drive your professional success.’

And you can do that. All you need is focus. When you focus on what you are doing, you can do more than you are doing right now.

Just get out of your safe zone. Take on things that are not within your safe zone. If you really want to get to your next level, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘take on projects and responsibilities that lie outside your comfort zone.’
