More good stuff from Brian Johnson:
Do you consider them to be failures and a reflection of the individual (including yourself), or do you view them as being opportunities for growth and a natural part of being human?
In this 4-minute video, the Philosopher’s Notes author, Brian Johnson discusses the importance of having a healthy mindset when it comes to making mistakes.
We love the reassuring analogy he uses that life is similar to a great long movie and that – as with any movie where scenes are often filmed many times in order to get them right – the setbacks or failures we may experience are really just “mis-takes”, rather than actual mistakes.
Certainly an attitude we should all learn to adopt next time we place the unrealistic expectation on ourselves to be perfect, wouldn’t you agree?
