A MISTAKE REPEATED MORE THAN ONCE IS NOT A MISTAKE

3/19 Edited to

Reflecting on the idea that a repeated mistake transcends simple error and enters the realm of conscious decision-making can be truly eye-opening. From personal experience, recognizing this has allowed me to shift my mindset from blame to accountability. Instead of viewing repeated missteps as unfortunate, uncontrollable events, I’ve learned to see them as choices that I can influence and change. For example, I used to struggle with procrastination, telling myself it was just a bad habit I couldn't break. But when I started to acknowledge that each time I delayed tasks, I was making a choice—even if subconsciously—that realization empowered me to take control. By consciously deciding to prioritize and manage my time better, I gradually stopped repeating the same mistakes. This concept extends beyond personal habits to our relationships and professional life. When conflicts or errors arise repeatedly, it's essential to assess whether we are making active choices that perpetuate these patterns. Taking responsibility means not only acknowledging these patterns but also committing to change. It involves self-awareness and deliberate action, which can lead to significant personal growth. Incorporating this understanding into daily life encourages us to live with intention. Instead of feeling stuck in cycles of mistakes, we embrace the opportunity to make different choices and live with the consequences—and ultimately, with greater clarity and confidence.
