Do not learn from your mistakes !!!


 


Don't repeat the same mistakes again



As the saying goes, you should learn from your mistakes. Really? We don't want to make mistakes again, right? That's why they say we should learn from our mistakes. It depends on our perception. It can be a risky business as sometimes our mind can play games and the learned lessons can really be misleading too. Moreover often we twist reality according to our belief system so that it looks like we didn't make a mistake at all. Because by default we don't like to feel bad. Thus if you fail, even to recognize that you have made one, then from where will you learn? When we do something our brain creates a memory pathway. That's a natural way of conditioning, a type of learning. But we didn't learn those lessons purposefully.


The neural pathways created while doing something, right or wrong builds our habits. Its obvious as we can see many examples in our life and lives of people around us. This is true in the case of repeatedly  making mistakes and trying to learn lessons too. The very process of scanning the past mistakes again and again for learning that lesson can be really dangerous. Especially when we are not sure about our expertise in learning lesson properly.  Why we keep making the same mistakes is that we slip by default back into the existing memory pathways. Yes, our brain do learn from making mistakes, … they learn how to make them


Solution is that we stop trying to learn from past mistakes. Remembering them will encourage us to get guided by the previous neural pathway. Instead think about what we want to achieve and view it from a fresh angle. Learn right, right now.

Develop a better, new perspective!
