The FEAR of being nothing, achieving nothing and becoming nothing
should be way bigger than the fear of making mistakes.
A life spent making
mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing
nothing. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Here are 7 reasons why not making mistakes is
in fact the biggest mistake you could ever make.
1. MISTAKES HELP US
DISCOVER WHO WE ARE
With every mistake that we make we discover
more and more about ourselves, about who we are, about our limits, about our
capabilities, about what we can and cannot do. They help us be more
compassionate and more tolerant with ourselves and others.
There is a power inside
every human against which no earthly force is of the slightest consequence. ~ Neville Goddard
2. LIFE LESSONS – MISTAKES TEACH US VALUABLE
LIFE LESSONS
By making mistakes you will in fact learn
valuable life lessons and you will become a happy learner. There is so much we
can all learn from our mistakes, and the moment we see them as lessons rather
than mistakes, we will no longer have this crazy fear of encountering them
along the journey.
Mistakes are a part of
being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons
that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at
least, others can learn from. ~ Al Franken
3. FORGIVENESS – MISTAKES TEACH US HOW TO FORGIVE
One of the greatest lesson you will learn from
making mistakes is forgiveness. With every mistake that you’ll make, you will
learn how important it is to forgive yourself and many of the people around
you. You will understand that you are not perfect and that perfection
doesn’t really exist, only our intentions of doing our best. And who wants to
be perfect anyways? Perfection leaves no room for improvement.
The truth is, unless you
let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless
you realize that that situation is over, you cannot move forward. ~ Steve Maraboli
4. FREE FROM FEAR – MISTAKES HELP US LET GO OF
OUR FEARS
NOT MAKING MISTAKES - isn’t that actually
the biggest mistake you could ever make? Life isn’t about avoiding mistakes but
rather embracing the idea that mistakes will come your way and being willing to
learn from these mistakes. Let go of your fears and allow yourself to really
experience life.
There are some people who
live 70 years, and there some people who live one year 70 times, repeating what
they’re doing over and over in the name of the gold watch or whatever. ~ Wayne Dyer
5. LIVE WITHOUT
REGRETS
Believe it or not, if you play it safe you
will have more and more regrets about the things you did not do rather than the
things you did do, you will regret not making more mistakes. Personally,
whenever I hesitate doing something because of the fear of making mistakes, I
imagine myself on my death bed ( I know, a bit too crazy but it works
) looking back at my life on what I achieved. By doing so I realize that
if i don’t take action NOW, I will have regrets.
I would much rather have
regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my
heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I’d just been myself. ~ Brittany Renée
6. GROWTH – WITH MISTAKES COMES GROWTH AND
PROGRESS
If you don’t make mistakes how can you expect
to GROW and to EVOLVE as a human being? How many of us get stuck because
they allow the fear of making mistakes to paralyze them? How can we expect to
learn anything new if we don’t allow ourselves to make mistakes?
What do you first do when
you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make
other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can
without drowning – and some of them many times over – what do you find? That
you can swim? Well – life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be
afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live! ~ Alfred Adler
7. MISTAKES ARE STEPPING STONES TO HAPPINESS
You gain confidence, courage and experience
every time you make a new mistake in a very narrow field and in time you will
get better and better at the things you love to do. Remember Thomas
Edison? He failed more than 10,000 times while working on the light bulb and in
the end he succeeded.
When you know exactly what you want and when
you are able to see this something in your mind’s eye, nothing can stop you
from moving forward, nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams and
allowing happiness to enter into your life.
I’ve failed over and over
and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. ~ Michael Jordan
