Mistakes get no love. Success hogs it all. But while success is ultimately what we are all aiming for, mistakes can help us get there quicker.
Success and mistakes both offer opportunities to learn from a situation, but mistakes often offer the learning more clearly and bluntly. Most shy away from this direct confrontation with an undesired reality, giving the cold shoulder to a mistake that really just wants to love us, if only we would let it.
When mistakes come around, the choice of whether to invite them has already passed. It’s not ideal to have mistakes come around, but when they do it’s important to show them love, otherwise they will come back bigger and angrier.
