We all make mistakes, but it's harder to start learning from them. After making a mistake, everyone usually thinks about how did it go wrong. Yet we should be asking ourselves, how do I learn from it?
The first step is to develop or build a growth mindset. The "Growth Mindset: help you grow," a YouTube video of two women who either learn from their mistake or easily forgets about it. A young artist sketching a plant would throw away each painting with a mistake. She starts to learn when she hangs up the paintings with the mistakes, so she won't repeat them. Check out the Learning From Failure: 5 Inspiring Life Lessons website with tips to achieve success through failures. Mistakes are a learning opportunity, so we can become better and build stronger habits.
