Mistake to Avoid"
Can we stop making "Mistake"?
--------------------------------------------------------
First of all, no one stops making mistakes because making mistakes is part of being human. If you’re not making mistakes you’re not pushing yourself and you’re not doing your best work.
Well, I’ve made a good number of mistakes myself. Thus, have hurt myself as well as others unintentionally.
Now, as I look back I do regret ‘em. But the assurance being I never did it purposefully. It all happened due to a lack of experience.
And at the moment when we are committing a mistake, there is a voice at the back of our mind which whispers to us.
How to Avoid Mistake?
--------------------------------------
However, you can't yet. You have to make mistakes to get there. There are so many things that can kill the careers of good, hard-working You can't yet. You have to make mistakes to get there. Consider Kirk in Star Trek V when Bones is trying to get him to let Sybok take his pain away. Kirk's answer is astounding. “I don't want my pain taken away. I need my pain. It's what makes me who I am.”
Some people make mistakes and suffer from them, then get stuck in a pattern of self-defeating behavior because they worry about the past repeating itself. Just learn from your mistakes, accept them, and don't let them conquer you.
Also, you can practice. I forgot who came up with the technique, or what they called it (I thought it was William S. Burroughs but I looked it up and couldn't verify) but you just practice mindfulness every second of your day, and if you notice yourself making a mistake you walk yourself backwards through it and do it over and over again until you do it perfectly. Sooner or later, this becomes common practice of mindfulness that you can run on autopilot and don't have to think about. But, if you don't like making mistakes, maybe it's worth devoting some time to.
Do we know we are making a "Mistake"
------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't, but you can learn from a mistake to avoid it happening again, or deal with it more effectively if it does happen again.
The thing is, you probably are not even aware of most of the mistakes you are making. So even more important is to be aware of your habits, so you can see where you are making mistakes that you didn't even realize you were making.
If you have a trusted friend or partner, you could even try asking them what mistakes you keep making. But that needs a lot of trust and can make things very uncomfortable for a while. But it can also deepen that relationship.
Recognising and tackling situations is how we learn. When we handle those situations in a way that leads to a negative outcome, we call them mistakes. When they don't we call them successes. Even if what we did was the same thing, but external forces swayed things one way or the other.
So learning to look wider than the immediate situation and adapt to circumstances can be a real way to avoid the negative outcomes we call mistakes.
We also tie ‘mistake' to ‘responsibility' or ‘fault'. The term is often used when assigning blame to ourselves or another, so it can prevent us from looking wider and seeing the other factors at play. So don't make the mistake of pushing blame to avoid making it your mistake, or taking the blame to keep things simple and reinforce your belief that you keep making mistakes. Make sure you look at your mistakes in a wider context, and you have a better chance of neither making nor misattributing those mistakes on the future.
Here are some of the common mistakes you should avoid:
- Don’t try to live and do life without God. I did and I limited myself in ways that I now regret.
- Don’t lie to yourself. Purpose in your heart to be blatantly transparent with yourself. I am
- am transparent with myself and can now make right and godly decisions.
- Don’t eat junk food. Purpose in your heart to life a healthy lifestyle. Junk food has done lots of damage to many, many people’s bodies.
- Don’t get married just to be married or to escape loneliness or your parents. I did and thus began a bad chapter in my life.
- Don’t spend money recklessly. I did and made some not so sound financial mistakes in my life.
- Don’t let others dictate and make their decisions in your life. If you do, you will
- Don’t associate with just anybody. Watch who you associate yourself with. The wrong people in your people.
I love writing it is a way to express myself.
