Have The Guts To Be Wrong
We can all agree that being wrong is not a pleasant feeling. That’s a simple fact.
But is it really a bad feeling in itself? I disagree with those who think it is.
There isn’t a single person in the world who has never been wrong. We have all made mistakes in our life. There were big ones and small ones. The ones which we overcame easily and the ones which hurt us to our core.
However such experiences are what really help us develop our best self.
You’re not perfect
The first step to overcome failures is to accept them. As we’ve agreed already, we all do mistakes. Regularly.
Accepting their existence is crucial to move forward. As a matter of fact, refusing to accept them is what will cause a stop in your growth as a person.
If you refuse to see your mistakes, you will be stuck forever in a negative vicious circle. You will keep repeating those, not see potential opportunities related to improvement and feel worse and worse as time passes by.
Instead, accept them, observe the tiny parts which were actually positive in the experience. One which will be common to all failures will be the opportunity to learn.
