Learning From Your Mistakes


When you make a mistake, dont look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
Author: John Peel



A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Author: Andy Rooney



Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

Being creative

Being creative
 
We often think of creativity as producing works of art or literature,
as the act of expressing things in a profound and different way. Yet
creativity can be a part of every moment.
 
Thoughtfully responding to situations, rather than mindlessly
reacting, is a powerful form of creativity. Seeing the beauty in
every detail of every day is a completely creative way to live.
Recognizing the opportunities which are hidden in the obstacles is
also a way of living creatively. Moving forward instead of fighting
back is extremely creative.
 
Every moment is an opportunity to create. To create what? Not merely
amazing inventions, magnificent images or profound strings of words,
but a life of fulfillment and purpose. At any time and in any place,
be creative. Escape the limiting patterns which hold you back and
create a life of greatness. Express the beauty that is your life in a
new and different way with each passing moment. That is being
creative. That is being truly alive.
