We live in a world that is obsessed with success. But then without failure that won’t be any success in the first place.
We are always told to avoid mistakes from the very childhood as the world seems to obsess over success. People are just ready to label you as a winner or loser. The truth is told over and over again by sages and wise men that there is nothing wrong at all in failing and losing. As George Bernard Shaw aptly remarked, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing”. Here are some reasons why you should not be making mistakes.
Mistakes make us knowledgeable
Mistakes help us learn from our mistakes and the best we can do is to learn something from them. The biggest thing we learn is what is not working for us and what we must try next. If one ceases to make mistakes then we would lose innumerable opportunities to learn some really valuable lessons and knowledge.
Mistakes make us more resilient
If we want to venture forward in life we must move forward, outside of our comfort zone. If we don’t make mistakes, we would forever be trapped in our comfort zone and would not move forward. Adversity helps us overcome challenges that help us to succeed in life.
Mistakes make us more creative
When we are stuck with a mistake after fretting a while, we think of the ways to make our mistakes right. This action triggers our creativity which makes us think outside the box. So, think about it, without any mistakes we are losing our chance of experiencing our most creative side.
Mistakes teach us humility and remind us that we are humans after all
The most important lesson we learn from our mistakes is to remain grounded and the importance of being humble. As humans, we would inevitably make mistakes, and these mistakes teach us the meaning of being human which is making mistakes and learning from them.
Mistakes help us be a bit wiser than before
Mistakes make us see things as we have never seen them before. You appreciate the value of people, things, circumstances like never before. Without mistakes, you may never understand the value of things you have and it makes you wiser about things and people.
Still afraid of committing mistakes?
