Learning from Mistakes and Success
I was thinking this morning, in how we experience success and failure quite differently, and how we use both as part of our learning, in the context of personal growth.
When we have a success - we feel we did it right, and we want to do more of the same thing.
When we have a failure - we feel we did it wrong, and we want to do less of the same thing.
When we succeed - it is like we are already on, and are continuing to stay on our path.
When we fail - it is like we have veered off, and have to correct ourselves to get back onto our path.
When we succeed - we feel right.
When we fail - we feel wrong.
When we succeed - we feel we don’t have to change.
When we fail, we know we have to change.
When we revel and rest in our success - we are in danger of becoming one of the learned.. knowing but not growing.
When we embrace our failure - we transform ourselves into a learner.. and are constantly growing through not knowing.
Of course, in truth success and failure are simply perspectives, and exist only within the mind, but it did give me pause for thought and a chuckle..
- to your ’success’
