Attitude Towards Mistakes

A super short piece on mistakes and things everyone does.

So we all tend to super focus in on our own mistakes. I mean, who hasn’t had a perfectly fine day ruined by remembering something awkward we did in seventh grade? (Or a week ago…) We’re all so worried about messing up and looking like idiots that we dwell on our mishaps for years!

But then whenever someone else messes up even a little bit we blame them and make fun of them and do other horrible things. And it’s a little hypocritical, given how hard we are on ourselves. And it just perpetuates the cycle, because then they’re going to be harsh on themselves and take it out on someone else. And so the stress rolls on.

We know that nobody is perfect, and yet we expect others to be so anyways. When we should be rejoicing in the fact that we aren’t the only ones that make mistakes we ridicule them. Everyone’s imperfect! Everyone screws up! We don’t need to be so harsh about it, just learn and move on and make sure it doesn’t happen again! We’re so focused on perfection all the time, need to change this and create less stress in the world, instead of more. Because stress sucks. And no one likes it.
