Benefit From the Mistakes of Others
by Jane Powell
“You cannot live long enough to make all the mistakes. Learn from the mistakes of others.”
In every mistake, there is learning, but not every mistake has to be your own.
Just as society uses history to learn from the mistakes of earlier generations, so can you.
Save yourself some time and frustration and look to those around you and learn from their experiences.

Save yourself some time and frustration and look to those around you and learn from their experiences.
For instance, instead of being defensive when an older person passes on advice listen and appreciate the learning they’ve gained over time.
Tune into their mistakes more closely than their successes.
Reflect on why things went wrong and tuck the learning away in your mind for your own future challenges.

There is no reason to avoid the effort. Because once you get started, the effort will feel great.

You may be nice and comfortable where you are.
By all means enjoy the moment you're in,
but don't become so comfortable that you keep yourself stuck there.

Spreading out in all directions is a world full of possibilities.
Get up, get out there, explore, achieve, fulfill, and experience.

With profound gratitude and the highest of expectations,
