There is no Mistakes in Life, Only Opportunities

• Dike Favour Charity

I know you have your doubt right now but let’s look at it from this perspective.

I used to be a Maths lover in secondary school. Every time I’m always with my Maths textbooks in front of my maths teacher, disturbing him with one or two math challenges I had.

There were times I would just give myself some task and many times, I would make lots of mistakes in the calculations. I’ll take it back to him and he’ll spot my mistakes and correct me where necessary.

As time went by, I became better. I could try out my approach to solving questions because I had the understanding of what to avoid, how to stay focused, How to think differently and fast etc. I became better to the point that I could solve a question in my head by just looking at it.

My point is that When you take your eyes away from what you call a MISTAKE, You’ll see opportunities. It could be an opportunity to get better, learn new things, Advance or retrace your steps.

I’m not saying we don’t make mistakes in life, of course, we do cause we are humans, what I’m saying is that we shouldn’t capitalise on our mistakes and lose the zeal to keep moving rather we should count them as a privilege to discovering our purpose.

My Coach would always say ” If we can do more, We can be more”. I concur with that because we can only DO MORE if we shift our eyes from our mistakes and decide to see an opportunity to BE MORE in it.
