The following is a reflection of an older man, who was asked about the path he had taken to become a successful man. And he answered the following:

  • “And tell me”, asked the employee “How is it that you have achieved your success?”
  • “I summarize it in two words” he replied
  • “And what are those words?”
  • ” Good decisions “
  • Not satisfied with the answer, the employee asked again “ And how do you manage to make the right decisions? 
  • “I summarize it in one word, experience “
  • “And how did you get your experience?”
  • “I summarize it in two words” he replied.
  • “And what are those two words?”
  • ” Bad decisions “

Learn from your mistakes to succeed

If we want to take advantage of our mistakes, then we have to make some . And as time goes by, as we make different mistakes each time, then we will be learning and growing. Have you been feeling bad lately about a mistake you have made? Then analyze what you did wrong, make sure you don’t do it again, forgive yourself, and move on.

Do you not feel confident enough to make a decision, since you are afraid of making a mistake? Well, then remember that even bad decisions can be an excellent opportunity to learn , because the only way to learn to make good decisions is making some bad decisions. So, think no more, dare to make bad decisions, do it with all the courage you have, at the end of the day, those bad decisions will make you a wiser person .

And if you make enough bad decisions and learn from them, the day will come when you won’t be able to make any more bad decisions and you will be the best you can be.

The importance of learning from mistakes is to get to feel more and more free, we only have to comply with the expectations that we impose on ourselves and which, most of the time, we have acquired without wanting to and adopt as our own.
