Instead of crumbling to pieces when you fail, learn something from it.
Failure can be devastating. Failure can literally make you want to fall into pieces. One of the hardest things to do is invest your heart and your soul into something that you are working on and watch it fall apart in front of your eyes. But that's part of the game. This article is about something much more minor but just as critical to your future success.
This is about making mistakes.
The ability to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes is one of the most crucial elements in being able to become a success. While mistakes are not as bad as complete failures, they allow us to course correct without watching everything fall apart. If you can learn from your mistakes and what they are trying to teach you, you can get back on the path you were meant to be on without being knocked off completely.
Successes can teach you a whole lot about life, but mistakes and failures end up being the things that really shape us into who we are. When we learn from what we have not succeeded at it gives us a chance to show up in the world in a completely different way and build a new path for ourselves. If you take Edison for example, he failed over 1,000 times in attempting to create the light bulb, but in the end because he learned from his mistakes, he revolutionized the world.
What truly made Edison an innovator is that he didn't allow his past mistakes to define what he could do in this moment. He knew that he would learn from all that he had tried and continued down the path of trying to invent the light bulb. Eventually he did and because of his determination and perseverance he illuminated the world.
We are all going to make mistakes. We are going to mess up. We are going to accidentally tear things apart in our lives. But that doesn't have to be the end result. That doesn't have to be the final move. The most dangerous part about making mistakes is when we turn these mistakes into our failures as a human being. Then, things start to get messy.
So how can you avoid this?
Own your mistakes. Take full responsibility for them. Know that your mistakes are a natural part of life and that they don't have to be things that completely destroy your character. When you own your mistakes, to yourself and to others, you are free from guilt.
By taking full responsibility for your life, you're going to be able to live the life you were meant to live - guilt free.
Own your path.
