Mel’s Mindful Moments S1-E25 transcript:

Sometimes having to admit that we messed up can be difficult.

But taking personal responsibility for our actions is important.

But what happens?

We often search for somewhere to pin the blame.

Even when we know it’s our own fault.

As human beings, we won’t get it right all the time.

Mistakes are gonna happen.

Some mistakes will be bigger than others of course.

But WITH the mistakes, something great is included …

You are learning!

At a cost of course, but you are learning none the less.

And the bigger the mistake, the greater the lesson.

Let’s think about a chemist for a moment!

There they are in their laboratory …

... I can see the different colors of smoke, bellowing out of their labs right now.

So if mistakes were such a bad thing, then chemist might as well quit their jobs right now!

But chemist actually thrive on mistakes, …

Because they know, … they are that much closer to a breakthrough!

Sure we feel terrible when we make mistakes.

And some mistakes will take longer to recover from.

But don’t waste the experience, … really learn from it.

You don’t wanna repeat the same mistake do you?

I know I don’t. So learn everything you can from it.

By taking responsibility …

…it will only make us better in the long run.
