Learn from Mistakes

I keep promising that I will not make a mistake, such as leaving a tap running, only to find that I have done the same thing the next time I turn on a tap. I am confident that I am not alone, and many of us keep repeating our mistakes from time to time.

As you may have realized by now, repeating mistakes can be quite an expensive affair. In my case, it blows the water bill through the roof and makes those living with me unhappy, which is to say that the mistake takes away the joy in my home. Mistakes could cost you the relationships that surround you, cause people to lose faith in you, or cost you grand opportunities like scholarships. The good news, however, is that you can pick up lessons to help you avoid the same trouble in the future.

Below are the ways through which you could learn from your mistakes:

1.Acknowledge the Errors

Most times, when people apologize, they tell others, “I am sorry you feel that way,” or “Too bad things did not work out as you had hoped.” However, statements like these disguise blame and minimize the individual’s contribution to the mistake that happened, and this is not helpful to anyone.

Before you can derive lessons from your mistakes, you must first acknowledge that the mistakes happened and accept the role that you played.

2.Reflect on The Mistakes

Although it may be uncomfortable to dwell on the mistakes, it is important that you reflect on them to understand the situation better. Ask yourself what went wrong, how you should have handled the situation, what you could do to change the results presented with the same circumstances, and the lessons you derived from your experience.

Put down all this information because as you do it, you will gain better clarity of the situation. You will also think better about what should have been done so that you can come up with better strategies you can use to handle a similar situation.

3.Have A Plan

It is no use dissecting events and drawing lessons from them if you are not going to use the knowledge you gained to help you in the future. The essence of remembering the past is to equip you so that you can handle the circumstances in the future.

Therefore, come up with a plan that will keep you from making similar mistakes. Let the plan be with as much detail as you can. However, be flexible in your mind, knowing that circumstances could change quickly, and you would need to think quickly on your feet.

If you can find an accountability partner to help track your progress, take up his help. If you can’t, use your calendar by marking on it the days by when you should have made certain progress.

4.Put Stronger Barriers

This time, you are going to have to make it harder for you to make mistakes. Your willpower and your resolve to avoid the mistakes are not enough guardrails because you are likely to go over those when you need instant gratification.
