"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."
Indian Lawyer/Political Activist
1869 - 1948
Are you free to make mistakes or do you hold yourself to such high standards of perfection that you are bound to fail? Many of us have to learn that it is okay to make mistakes. We need to throw off the cloak of perfection and warm ourselves at the fire of mistakes. We need to embrace the healing power of mistakes and enjoy what they have to teach us. No human being is perfect, but for some strange reason we try to be. Maybe our parents, preachers and teachers set very high standards. Maybe we set high standards for ourselves. Maybe we are people pleasers and try to live up to the expectations of others. Learn to encourage and accept your mistakes. Have you given yourself the freedom to make mistakes?
