Mistakes Are Gifts From Your Past Self

Stop dwelling on mistakes you made and treat them as opportunities for learning and growth.
A simple framework you can use to get better at dealing with mistakes:
- Acknowledge. (Yes, I made a mistake.)
- Learn. (Here is what it taught me.)
- Improve. (Here is what I will do right now to make sure I don’t repeat it ever again.)
The only way a mistake can hurt you is if you don’t learn from it but repeat it over and over again.
