Mistakes Are the Tolls

 Mistakes Are the Tolls

What to do with a mistake – recognize it, admit it,

learn from it, forget it.”

Dean Smith, basketball coach

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Mistakes are the tolls

 

A mistake can be a learning experience that can contributes to your long term success . . . . Or it can become a weight on your shoulders that pulls you down. Whatever you do with a mistakes becomes your choice.

 

Indentify your mistakes . . . . and what caused them to occur. Determine what happen . . . . and why they happened. Do the best you can to correct the mistake. Move pass the mistake and find a way not to repeat the mistake in the future.

                   

You can admit to your mistakes . . . . and grow from them . . . . Or you can be in a state of denial . . . . and be destined to repeat them.

 

You can carry them around to the point of exhaustion . . . . Or you can move on put them behind you . . . and forget them.

 

Mistakes are the tolls . . . . you pay on your success journey. Pay them once . . . . and use them a learning experience. Move pass them . . . . and move on.

Lou, you are so correct!  Mistakes are a stepping stone to learning how to be better.  ONLY, if we actually learn from them!!

As long as you can identify the mistakes and learn from them. There are some that don't and try to blame others. That doesn't work. I know someone like that. It drives me nuts.

Mistakes are a learning tool. They may make our heads pound but in the end we achieve some learning.

You pay the toll, learn from the mistake and then drive on the highway and moved to next destination.

I wonder if anything at all while politicians sometimes, but anything is possible and we have to be optimistic. I believe.

Lou Ludwig ~ hi Lou, a great reminder that we can let mistakes work for us or against us. I think the natural inclination for most people is to let them work against us, so we need to be ever vigilant about maintaining the right mind set.

I don't think I forget about it, that lesson keeps on being of value and it drives me to never make that mistake again by having grown from it.
