Learning from Mistakes


With humour we can release the feeling of being of miserable and instead choose to experience the feeling of being blessed. In every experience we have a choice.

Humour is a powerful tool.


The idea of perfection is responsible for much of the suffering in the world. Learning to find humour in your mistakes will magically transform your life, because when you laugh at your mistakes, you allow your real-self to surface. And being real is what life is all about.

You may see laughing at yourself as a threat, but in reality you attract more joyfulness into your life.


Having the ability to laugh at yourself and your mistakes radiates the realness in you, and draws people to connect with you on a personal level.


Mistakes offer us opportunities for learning instead of being annoyed by them. Openness to gaining knowledge from experiences goes hand-in-hand with a degree of humility. If we are too proud, how can we realise that aspects of ourselves still have room to grow.

Humility should not be confused with self-criticism or guilt. Being humble creates true opportunities for growth whereas being self-criticism can create suffering.

We suffer because we identify ourselves with our mistakes, our successes and our failures and the circumstances that affect us.

Learning to have compassion can help us move forward and learning from others' erroneous actions can be a powerful stimulant to learning compassion.

Mistakes of any kind provide opportunities to learn, to break through habitual responses, and speed up our responses and ability to grow. Our brains produce electrical signals when we realise our own or others' errors. If we happen upon a key to “realise “embrace it do not shy away. The more you understand about yourself and learn from your mistakes, the more successful you will be.

Live your life on purpose today.
