It's merely an experience. And according to Neale Walsch (author of the Conversations with God series), such experiences serve to contribute to one's development one way or the other, some faster and others slower. 'Mistakes' are labels that one choose to paste on actions/situations which do not suit one's temperament at that point in time. But then temperament and/or situations change under a different set of circumstance. And what was earlier seen as a mistake, may now be considered in a more favourable light. It's thus better to be aware at all times. Some school of thought believe that there’s no such thing as a mistake. It’s merely an experience.

We can be our own worst critique at times, but it takes a lot of courage to stand up and accept them into our lives. After watching a couple of videos by Howard Schultz, he mentions in all his videos that Success is not an entitlement, but must be earned. It is really something that echoes through my mind. Even if I am successful today, it does not guarantee that I will be successful tomorrow. Jacy, Great to know that you have learnt to celebrate your mistakes.

I love it when he said... "It's one thing to learn from your mistakes, but sometimes we have to celebrate them. One thing I do not want to do at Starbucks is to not have the kind of failure where we start discouraging creativity and entrepreneurship... our success is not an entitlement, it has to be earned." I used to beat myself up a lot and was my own worst critique till learned to not only learn from my mistakes, but celebrate them and enjoy the process. That has made a big difference in my life. Totally agree that success is earned, as with trust and respect. It takes time to build but can disappear in just a blink of an eye. Keep 'em coming Kenneth :) and I acknowledge you for your passion in sharing and making a difference in this world. Hi Kenneth
