We All Make Mistakes (A guide on overcoming costly ones)

in #life7 years ago

Mistakes are inevitable, as we proceed in life and our daily activities we are prone to making one mistake or the other. It could be a small thing, very minor that you wouldn’t even know it occurred or rather could be super costly that we wish we could take back the hands of time to correct things, such mistakes could happen anywhere or even at your place of work possessing great threat as the outcome could be disastrous.

The “If I had known” phrase usually sets in. However it’s usually too late, there is no point crying over spilled milk, all that matters afterwards is the way we respond, how we pick up the pieces and forge ahead that finally counts at the long run.

In resoluteness of this I would like to give you some tips which in my thought should help you overcome such situations;

The First Step

First thing you should always learn to do is accept such mistakes, take full responsibility. If something goes wrong learn to accept it, that way your mind gradually begins to work things out. Even if it’s at work and such occurs it usually best to inform you direct superior as you trying to hide things might turn out spooky if they finally get wind of the occurrence. You could only take chances in concealing such if the error is insignificant.

Next...Never give up

After accepting your mistakes and taking responsibility, your mind subconsciously helps you take control of the situation. This involves you trying to work things out and come out of the mess you found yourself in. At this point ideas on possible solutions gradually begin to flood your mind and then it lies on you to pick the most feasible plan in your own perspective. If the mistake was one that affected the people around you or probably your colleagues at work you should give them the perfect impression of being in charge, this can only be achieved by trying to clean up the mess as quick much as possible. That way the confidence they had in your could be restored.

Learn from your mistakes, they are called experience

Always endeavor to learn from your mistakes, we all know nobody is above screwing up and finding oneself in such situations could be stunning. However, you shouldn’t waste too much time wallowing because if you do, there are chances you crash deeper, learn nothing from the situation and never come out of it. You should always strive to learn from you mistakes and see the outcome as an experience that was needed in life to shape you into a better person. Come out of your vomit and learn to avoid similar pitfalls in the future.

Snatch back the crown.

Lastly, you should earn the lost trust back because after you suffered the initial pitfall most people might see you as a loser or failure depending on how disastrous your mistake was so you have to make sure whenever you get a shot to prove how valuable you are to the them, you make good use of it

You should note that everyone messes up but what matters is the manner/ medium you employ in getting out of it. “Don’t forget the proverbial phrase which goes "when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade out of them”
