‘Why do we fall? So that we learn to pick ourselves’
Apart from being an iconic dialogue from a great movie this line teaches us something important. It’s that even when a particular incident or failure in life makes you feel that it’s the end of the road, what you need to do is take a deep breath, accept what has happened and learn from it so that you can move ahead not repeating the same mistake again.
Here are 5 mistakes that you shall make that helps you learn from it, propelling you towards success.
1. Giving Up.
The option of giving up is one that each of us comes across in our lives. It seems as a very easy exodus to us when we are facing a tough situation and when things don’t really seem to be working out as we want them to. Most of us do give up and keep doing so until we realize what we are missing out on by doing so. Giving up is simple and easy, the consequences are known and we draw out the future plan in our head but what we don’t understand is what if we carried on doing what maybe we should’ve. Giving up is a good mistake to make to learn what could’ve happened if we didn’t to help one achieve a lot in the future.
2. Blindly Trusting Someone.
Trust, it’s what makes us feel secured about the delicate things in our life but when this trust that we have put into someone is broken it shatters us to the ground. Trusting someone with something is an important element of our human life as we give a part of ourselves to someone we care and feel safe with. What we need to learn from trusting the wrong person blindly is making ourselves strong if such an incident occurs again and also how we should have a better judge of character when it comes to trusting someone with something that’s very important to us.
3. Letting Your Emotions Get The Better Of You.
Our predicament forces us to act in a particular manner. It influences our plan of action and our behavior towards the solution we are looking for. Another important aspect that influences our decision making skills in times of peril is our emotions and a lot of times we unknowingly let them get the better of us. We end up making decisions and choices that we regret later and we ponder ourselves with negative thoughts questioning our ability to handle a situation. Hence we prepare ourselves with an amour that helps us think clearly and calmly till the next time when our emotions seem to take over us. We learn a great deal about ourselves after letting our emotions get the better of us.
4. Overconfidence.
It looks good, feels good and sounds even more good but yes it is a vital mistake that most of us make when we have that pride in ourselves. Overconfidence is something that eats us up and we don’t really realize it is only and until we have the imminent fall. That’s how overconfidence is, it makes you feel really good about what you think of yourself and it won’t let you consider anything anybody has to say against what you think. It’s a imminent disaster and there’s nobody you can blame except yourself. What this mistake teaches you is that you need to keep yourself grounded no matter how good you think you are at something. Keeping yourself grounded and learning to laugh at criticism without letting it get to your head are the important things we learn from making this mistake.
5. Failure.
The most important mistake one should experience is failure. Failure teaches one a lot about themselves and about life. Tasting failure increases the hunger for success and hence it is such an important part of our lives. Failure teaches one the importance of working hard, staying focused, being determined and many more important qualities that shape a successful human being. Another important thing that failure teaches us is how we need to own up to our mistakes and take responsibility for what went wrong where and helps us in realizing that excuses won’t get us far ahead. Failure as a mistake helps those who want to learn from it and continues to repeat itself in the lives of those who don’t learn.
Mistakes are a part and parcel of life and learning from them and not repeating them is up to us. So here are 5 important mistakes that one should experience to learn from and have a successful life ahead.
