“Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a [person] does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if [they know] what it is not.”
― Carl G. Jung
When have you gained an important insight by discovering what something was not?
You know your route. You have a plan, and a scheduled arrival. You have things to do and places to be. And then a road block appears, and all of a sudden the well-planned route is just not going to happen. Action movies are pretty much the only place where it actually works to just power through the barricades.
What strategies help you to change course and find a new way?
“At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.”
― Angie Thomas
When have you recently found your love to be bigger than someone else’s mistake? When has someone else shown you that their love was bigger than your mistake?
The difference between a perfect bake and a burnt mess can be a matter of minutes. So can the difference between a useful conversation and an all-out fight.
What circumstances have you learned to extricate yourself from?
“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”
― Joe Abercrombie
