Is there any experience more uncomfortable than making a mistake? Whether big or small, messing up can be embarrassing and unsettling. When we make a mistake, it’s hard to bounce back. We have to find ways to change our perspective, though, so we can start seeing our missteps as the learning opportunities that they are. Your mistakes, after all, aren’t actually setbacks. They’re lessons that can bring us closer to our true happiness.
Mistakes carry a lot of weight.
We’ve all made mistakes in this life, but knowing that fact doesn’t make the experience feel any better. Our mistakes carry some weight (some more than others). But they always feel heavier and more consequential than they really are. That’s because we don’t like to get things wrong, and we certainly don’t like other people to see us get things wrong. We have to embrace our mistakes, though, if we truly want to be happy in this world.
Our mistakes feel like they carry the weight of the world.
