Once you make a mistake, there’s no taking it back. Recognize it, fix it if you can, identify anything to do differently and move on.

It’s easy to dwell on mistakes and beat ourselves up for what we should’ve done differently. You can’t change the past, so forgive yourself and be thankful for the lesson. The person who never makes mistakes has no self-awareness or is avoiding all risk and not accomplishing much.

Do you dwell on mistakes? What is the lesson that will help you let them go?
