When you make a mistake, the key is to acknowledge it, learn from it, and actively change your behavior to avoid repeating it in the future. This means taking responsibility, analyzing what went wrong, an implementing new strategies to prevent similar mistakes from happening again again.
There are some key points remember to recovering from a mistake,
- Own up to the mistake: Don’t try to blame others or make excuses and admit your error.
- Look at the cause: understand what led to the mistake so you can address the root cause.
- Come up with a plan to improve: Identify specific actions you can take to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
- Practice self compassion: Don’t beat yourself up, everyone makes mistakes. 
Mistakes leads to growth because it provide opportunity to learn, improve, and develop resilience.
“ The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result” -Albert Einstein.
Mistakes provide immediate feedback on what went wrong, and help us learn to grow and improve.
Mistakes for us to think critically and solve problems, which helps to develop resilience and adaptability.
Mistakes can help us develop a growth mindset, which is the belief that you can improve through learning an effort.
If we don’t learn from our mistakes, we cannot grow or improve, a lack of self-awareness or unwillingness to acknowledge our mistakes.
Not taking the time to think critically about our actions, or being stubborn to change our behavior even when it’s faced with negative consequences doesn’t get us very far in life.
