Every single mistake is a blessing in disguise; there are actually untold
blessings hidden within every mistake.
2. Children make many mistakes while learning how to ride a bike or write,
and we don't give it a second thought because we know that through their mistakes
they will learn and eventually master what they're trying to do. So why is it that
adults are so hard on themselves? We all make mistakes, and if we didn't make
them we'd never learn anything and we wouldn't grow any smarter or wiser. We
have the freedom to make our own choices, and the freedom to make mistakes.
Mistakes can hurt, but if we don't learn from the mistakes we've made, the pain
we've suffered from them has been for nothing. By the law of attraction, we will
make the same mistake over and over again, until the consequences hurt so much
that we finally learn from it. This is the very reason why mistakes hurt, so that we
do learn from them and don't make them repeatedly.
3. To learn from a mistake, we first have to own it, and this is where many
people can come undone because they often blame someone else for their mistake.
Let's consider the scenario of being pulled over by the police for speeding and
being given a speeding ticket. Instead of taking responsibility for speeding we
blame the police because we were caught unawares. But the mistake was ours as
we chose to speed.We are human, we will make mistakes and it's on of the most beautiful
things about being human. But we must learn from our mistakes, lot of
unnecessary pain.
So, how do we learn from our mistakes? Gratitude! No matter how bad
something may seem, there are always many things to be grateful for. When you
look for as many things as you can to be grateful for in a mistake, you magically
transform the mistake into a blessing, and blessings attract more blessings.
4. Today think of a mistake and let it be a lesson learnt. Let it be a blessing.
Look for the things to be grateful for. Ask yourself what you have learnt from this
mistake. Every blessing you find has a magical power. So, get ready to write out
your list in a gratitude journal or type them on a computer.
