Stop trying to avoid making mistakes and bad decisions...
Because sooner or later you're going to screw up anyway, and you're going to get something wrong...
Whether it be relationships, money, work, life, or anything else, we know that if we want to experience success and happiness in these area's of our lives that we have to make plenty of good decisions...
BUT the ability to be able to make those good decisions can only come from making plenty of bad decisions and mistakes along the way.
When we fail and get things wrong, these are the moments in our lives when we experience the most amount of growth and transformation.
Because when we make mistakes, we think a lot more about what went wrong, what we could have done differently, and how we will approach the future differently.
We don't evaluate things nearly half as much when things are going well.
So stop beating yourself up for those mistakes you've made, and learn the lessons from them instead!
Because unless you do; you'll just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again until you learn the lesson it's trying to teach you.
Live your life the way you want to live it; have fun, be spontaneous, and allow yourself to screw up sometimes!
Who cares!
You're going to anyway so you may as well hold on tight and enjoy the ride.
So be okay with screwing up from time to time, but take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes, grow from them, and realise that your mistakes are part of the process, not the alternative...
Remember, you're not defined by your mistakes; what's important is what you do with them...
