Blissful Life

When you apply skepticism and care in equal amounts, you get bliss.

What to do when you make a mistake?

Suppose you have made a mistake. And you don’t know what to do next.
Then I think I can help you. Becuase I’ve gone through the same.

  1. Understand that you’ve committed a mistake and accept it as true.
  2. If there is anything reversible about the mistake do those. Like, if you broke the glass, buy a new one. If you fought with anyone, talk with them and settle the matters.
  3. Forget it, but don’t forget to learn from it.

Now, the last step is the most difficult one.
And for that, I think these cool quotes can help you.

A man’s errors are his portals of discovery. James Joyce

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Swami Sivananda

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Albert Einstein

I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life’s experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life’s experiences would be a great mistake. Luis Miguel

All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes. Winston Churchill

Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave. Mary Tyler Moore

It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character. Dale E. Turner

If you don’t make mistakes, you don’t make anything Proverb

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. John Powell

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


Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter

As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
