Lessons in life will be repeated until they are learned

Most people grow up fearing mistake because it makes them look dumb and feel stupid. It’s only natural when we’re scolded for being wrong or failing a quiz.

-

What if schools and adults congratulated their children for being wrong and then shared with them the value in trying again...

-

Could you imagine how that would affect our youth and their success?

-

There’s value in making mistakes and failing. There’s value in facing a humbling experience. Personally, I have never met a successful person who’s never failed… a lot.

-

But the value doesn’t come from “failing” itself, the value comes from the reflection after the failure and the change in course of action.

-

If, after making a mistake, we continue on the same course, we repeat the mistake.

-

Einstein once shared, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and excepting a different result.”

-

Now, some folks are stubborn, hardheaded, don’t want to admit they’re wrong, so naturally, they continue to make the same mistakes.

-

It’s called pride. Pride kills growth almost faster than doubt kills dreams.

-

The best thing we could ever do for ourselves is admit we are wrong and then change our approach and try again.

-

Fools repeat their mistakes for a lifetime, Discerning people learn from their own mistakes and wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
