Do you dread making mistakes and feel remorse when you do? Instead, realize that mistakes are simply outcomes we didn't expect and can lead to growth.
Start by admitting your mistake.
You can only learn from a mistake if you admit you made one. Acknowledging the error takes the focus away from assigning blame and moves it toward understanding a future course of action.
Enlist help.
Talking to someone else about what happened gives you the benefit of another's experience. He or she may have made a similar mistake or know of a solid solution. Plus, describing the event forces you to think it through and may even help you see opportunities you didn't know were there.
Decide on change.
Ask, "What will I do better next time?" Real growth and change happen when you see possibilities for improvement.
Benefit from mistakes.
If you can learn from the current error, you may be able to avoid a future one.
Remember, God is the only one you know who doesn't make mistakes.
