When growing up as a child,
concept of learning a lesson becomes so routine, that many of us just set it aside as unimportant like many other principles that otherwise should be heeded. It is so true that all of us are mortal. Furthermore, all of us are fallible and no one is absolutely perfect. However, there are some people who would argue this about themselves or someone they know.
My contention is
people who perpetually make many crucial mistakes in their lives and continue to make
exact ones again, are not taking
necessary steps to correct themselves.
Simply put, carelessness, laziness, or mere insecurity in oneself are
primary reasons lessons due to mistakes are not applied.
Changing ones mindset and attitude towards self progression has significant importance in this area of growth.
Sure, there are many people out there who will almost always be making mistakes in perpetuity, but certainly that shouldn’t mean that you have to be one of them. Taking control of your life is an excellent first step.
Life does not have to be extremely complicated. It is a known fact that when people simplify their lives they are not only more happy, but more productive in any given task because
mind has less to wonder about.
Listing or ranking things of importance in one’s mind assists in shaving down
myriad of less important things that always seem to hinder our lives. Moreover, examining mistakes much like a football player watching film
Monday after a big game and then deciding a better approach will change
outcome to a positive rather than a negative.
So why is it so hard to apply a learned lesson?
Just learning
lesson is what many of us do, but that is merely half
battle. The other aspect is actually setting your mind by consciously programming it to steer away from this mistake. It is like staring at
problem with a microscope and discovering reasons why you made this choice.
