I was once a perfectionist, afraid of making mistakes because I thought they would bring me down.
But if I just want to be perfect, then how else can I learn? What’s the sense of living? Why strive for perfection when it’s the journey that counts?
Life didn’t end when you got failing scores, when you failed the CETS, or didn’t pass the board exam.
Take it from me: I’ve made my fair share of mistakes in life. I’ve made decisions I regret. But I also learned from it, which helped me become the person I am today.
We all face setbacks, and who cares? Life is about progress, growing, and learning.
I hope your mistake will not make you feel worthless. It’s your first time living, too.
You may trip and fall along the way, but the important thing is to pick yourself up and keep moving forward.
So don’t be afraid to take risks. The only real failure is giving up. As long as you keep going, you’re still in the race.
The best lessons come from mistakes.
So, when life throws setbacks your way again, don’t despair. Instead, ask yourself,
“How can I use this to grow?”
