Making mistakes is part of our life, but it charge to experienced as sometimes we often avoid making mistakes as we fear to take responsibility and consequences of our actions. We are taught to avoid failure in our grades while we're studying, and avoid making mistakes in our work. So sometimes we fear to make mistakes and failures in our daily lives.
How about you, do you fear of making mistakes and failures? Do you avoid?What have you learned from them?

No, I don't fear of any mistakes and failures.
You see, people often hold the idea that failure is the mother of success. Once I meet a failure, I may tey my best to face it with courage and overcome it. In fact, if people can treat the failures in correct attitude, we can benefit a lot from them. We can learn something useful through failures and improve ourselves.
Be careful and pay attention to everything and then we can avoid most mistakes. Happy myLotting!

Well good for you getbrowser. You aren't afraid of making mistakes and failures. Yeah, you're right our failures if only looked in the right perspective we can benefit from it. Those people who are risk taker are mostly became successful later in their life. Those who are not afraid of making mistakes and taking chances gets what they want. Well anyway what is important is we should not take risk what we can't afford to lose. As it will only give us bitterness in life.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

Yes, sometimes this fear holds me up. For example at work, this fear is perceived to be as indecision on my part. Holding me up for promotions. I hate it when it happens. I only pray that I recognize it when it happens, because if I do, I make a conscious effort to power through it.
But, I must admit, if I didn't have a family, I would be less fearful of everything.

Yeah, sometimes we fear of failure because of our family. Because we can't afford to include them on the risk that we take. I also felt that way, I always take the easy and sure way out in dealing things when it's my family's name at stake. But it's inevitable, we are not selfish individual, we care for other people who might be affected in our decisions.
You're doing right by praying to God, because He is the only who knows everything. And He can do everything. It's very good before in making decisions to asked God's help and guidance, so whatever might happened He would help us.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yes I do. I am so afraid to commit mistakes and failures that I am very cautious with my actions which is wrong because it hampers myself to grow and experience the other side of life. After reading the wonderful book of Dr. Ben Carson entitled "Take the Risk" I am more often now to welcome challenges and mistakes. I've realized also that I cannot mature fully if I won't allow myself to experience failure. As one poet puts it "Failure, more than success, is the beginning of wisdom".
