Stop Dwelling On Mistakes: Celebrate Growth Opportunities

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Mistakes happen. We are human beings. We make mistakes. Because we are human beings.

If we don’t make them, we won’t learn. They are our teachers. If you really want to learn, then you must pay attention to your mistakes.

They are not here to kill you. They are here to make you better. But make sure you learn from them. Do not waste any opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

If we are really serious about learning about ourselves, about those around us, and about the world, learning from our mistakes is the way to do it.

When it happens, don’t cry over it. Celebrate it. Do not let it define who you are. Because you are not your failures.

Look, if you have been dwelling on your past failures, you must stop it. It is not the way to go. In the words of Bob Goff, ‘God doesn’t bookmark our failures. He celebrates our attempts.’

If you want to make a difference in your life, do not dwell on your past failures.

When You Are Not Motivated, Remember These People

When you are with these people, they are with you. They are one hundred percent with you. They care about you. They care about what is going on in your life.

They want you to be happy. They want you to achieve your dreams, your goals. They want you to be who you are.

They don’t want you to fake who you are. They want you to live your life, to pursue what makes you happy.

They know what they want. When you are tired, they do not judge you. They bring you back up.

When you are with these people, they ask lots of questions. They ask questions to know how they can help you.

They don’t focus on your mistakes. They do not focus on what you cannot do. They are after how you are going to make progress.

They want you to grow, not to fail. When you fail, they don’t laugh at you. They laugh with you. When you are sick, they call to see how you are doing.

When you are not happy, they show you love. They bring you back to life. They respect you. They value you.

When you are with these people, you don’t want the day to end. So who are these people? They are your supporters. They are your pillars. They are your makers. They are your mentors.
