Some time ago, a 105-year-old woman was interviewed and asked what she would have changed in her life were it possible to do so. She replied she wished she'd made more mistakes. What surprising response. We all tend to see mistakes as unhelpful and problematic, but without them, we don't learn or grow. Something you might view as a mistake could prove to be very helpful. Don't be too quick to chastise yourself for a perceived error of judgment.
