Master Reflective Thinking to Maximize Your Progress
You’re thinking about it anyway, so why not put those thoughts to work?
I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life, but I’ve also had lots of successes. Some of the mistakes were made more than once before I finally learned from them. And some successes felt like they were more about luck than truly earning them.
How many mistakes or failures have you experienced over the course of your life? Imagine how your life would be if you never made a particular mistake more than once. Most of us repeat the same mistakes over and over. Mistakes have value: you can learn from them.
Similarly, successes can be repeated. Yet, it’s common to see someone that’s been successful change course and sabotage himself. If you can repeat your successes and avoid repeating the same mistakes, everything becomes easier. Life is also a lot more fun and rewarding.
