Mistakes Are Opportunities

May 14, 2019

Mistakes are an important part of being human, and for me, now as my awareness grows, they are my best teachers.

I have, however, feared making mistakes and this limited my growth. Mistakes for me were evidence that I was somehow less than everyone else.

This could be detrimental to my recovery.

As long as I learn from my mistakes and do not repeat them, mistakes are a sign of strength and demonstrate a willingness to take risks and grow. Mistakes are not tragedies so long as I learn from them.

Just for today I will not be afraid to make mistakes – they are a learning opportunity.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
