Ignorance Causes Mistakes
Ignorance Causes Mistakes
by Foster Hibbard
It would be a great blessing if you and I could assume
the attitude that every mistake each of us makes is
based upon the information and wisdom that we have
acquired up to that moment. In other words, all
mistakes are based on ignorance.
Had we known better, we would not have made any one
particular mistake. Any mistake we have ever made in
our lives was based on information and wisdom we had
accumulated up to that moment. Everybody is doing his
or her best at all times. If we were wiser, we would
not make mistakes. I am completely convinced that
everybody on earth is constantly acting upon
accumulated information. I believe, therefore, we are
set free from feeling the need ever again of accusing
anyone of anything.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.The fact is that when you make a mistake, there is a lesson for you to learn. Mistakes are gifts. They offer you the opportunity to explore an area where perhaps you are deficient, need additional knowledge or training, or need to reevaluate your approach.
