“It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error…”

…to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.”

Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind

It’s okay to make mistakes.  We often learn more from the mistake than we do from completing a task successfully.  Errors, viewed through a healthy prism, motivate us to try again,  repeat until we master, and achieve.  In so doing, we build our own sense of resiliency, a confidence in our abilities, a sense of esteem for ourselves.  We truly err only when we do not attend to our mistakes, evaluate and deconstruct our errors, so we may ultimately learn and accomplish our goals, desires, and dreams.
