Challenges are Inevitable

Such a fine piece of wisdom here.

We are all able to overcome the more mundane challenges we are familiar with, such as learning to walk as babies, learning to ride a bike, finding our first job, buying a house etc and I believe this is due to the fact that we see others overcoming these challenges all around us. What happens then is we start seeing them less as challenges and more as 'options' but make no mistake about it, they ARE challenges and as such we should give ourselves a little more credit when we overcome them.

Anyway, I'm off to challenge myself.

I hope you'll do the same my fellow explorers.

Peace. :)

Mistakes are Fundamental to the Learning Process

What a great quote this is. We often chide ourselves for making mistakes no matter how big or small they are and although this is understandable, when you consider the kind of world we live in (competitive), I think we are missing the point.

What is the point?

Mistakes:

• motivate us to try harder
• show us how not to do a thing
• bring us one step closer to completion 
• help us to learn more about ourselves
• keep our feet on the ground (humility)
• cause us to be more creative
• initiate growth within us because without growth we continue to make the same mistakes

 I could go on but the above are the 7 main positives of mistakes. Of course, in the same vein we could easily look at mistakes from the opposite point of view, in a negative way - but why would we want to do that?


Mistakes are the lessons of wisdom. Indeed!

Peace to you all. :)
