And I then turn my attention to look for the lesson - Why is this happening? What am I not doing right? What are different ways to do this? Who can I ask for advice or tips?
The best part is 3 to 6 months later (*ahem* or 12), when I look back and think "Remember that time you were effing this up? It's so easy to you now. You joker."
And I smile.
Because I know I've grown. And that I'm a joker.
Five Winning Mistakes
1.
Fall Down
Remember
the first time you rode a bike? You fell, right? How did you learn to
ride? By falling.
How
do we learn to get better? By getting back up… and falling again.
2. Quit
Sometimes
you have to say no to something to make space for something
even better.
3. Indulge
We
must consume to create. No consumption, no creating.
4. Mess
Make
an absolute mess. I did this with candy once…
and loved it.
Mess-making
is a great avenue to new discoveries.
5. Accident
Silly
putty is the result of an accident. Accidents breed inventions.
