Learn from Mistakes

Stop suffering. When you make a mistake, keep the lesson, but don’t brood over the past. We all make mistakes at one point. You were a baby, you soiled the bed, wet the bed. Will you be brooding over it now? ‘Oh, mommy, I wet my bed, I wet my bed.’ Would you be still thinking of it now? That is a baby’s life. Like that, when you make a mistake, you are a baby in that respect. You made a mistake without knowing. Now you know. You can say, ‘Okay, I will never do that again.’ Every failure should be a stepping stone for your future success. So, don’t brood over past mistakes.
