Its upon us on how we choose to think, positive or negative. This choice
has a significant impact on how we behave, the result has an impact on
everything we do. There is no starting point in life for becoming positive.
Mistakes helps us get up and give full attention on an issue which is going
on in our life like a flashing sign that says, “fix this issue”. The created
problem causes us to focus on issues or problems that make us feel off
track. Then we experience the values of mistakes, we get a clear message
about which of our efforts are working and which are not. The feedback
we get from our mistakes can be the most specific, pointed, and powerful
feedback we’ll ever get.
