First of all I want to say a big thank you for all those who left me a comment and I love to receive comments from you, so don’t be shy, send them along.
”Oh my God I made a mistake, I am going to be in trouble, what do I do?” Sounds familiar? How many times you or someone you know have been in this situation? Do you get anxious, angry at yourself, stressed up? I know that feeling.
My lesson today is be fearless of doing mistakes. Why? Simply because you are human and humans make mistakes in order to learn. Life is an ongoing learning process, we often want to do everything perfectly, beating ourselves up for making mistakes forgetting the fact that sometimes we cannot always do everything perfectly. Instead of doing that, how about a change of perspective? Making mistakes is part of life. Sometimes we make mistakes because we are tired, distracted, perhaps worried. All are simply normal human feelings. We make mistakes and then we learn how to do things better, that is all. Whenever you catch yourself getting stressed up about it think: what is the worst thing that can happen if I make a mistake?
How do you feel when other people make a mistake? Are you angry? Or are you calm about it and say: she is only human? Did you know that by noticing how you feel about other peoples’ behaviour you learn a lot about yourself? Yes you do and it is an amazing process.
The greatness of the art of being human is just accepting and giving ourselves the right to lose control sometimes, the right to make mistakes and the right to simply be ourselves with our strengths, qualities and even our flows, forgiving ourselves and than forgiving others around us.
