It's a fact of life - we all make a mistake every now and then. Some more often than others. It is human nature at work.
The trick is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try, try again. Don't sit and wallow in your mistake. Try again in a different way.
One of the best quotes I have seen concerning mistake is as follows: “We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are here now with the power to shape your day and your future.” Steve Maraboli
Some of my worst mistakes have tuned out to be the best thing that happened to me.
Do you pick yourself up and try again or do you dwell on your mistakes of the past?

@HazySue Who needs to move on? Are you referring to me or just everyone and referring to what mistake exactly?

Honestly, it depends on the kind of mistake. I have terrible anxiety so some mistakes will literally haunt me forever and I will cringe about or it will bother me which is okay. It is all about being humble, it is okay to be embarrassed, you can't dust everything off or else you are not letting yourself feel the situation and learn how to prevent it in the future.

@HazySue I guess it is easier as you get older. I am a lot calmer than how I used to be as a kid or teenager. Though my anxiety will never change thanks to some trauma.

@DesirousDreamer I think that there are events or mistakes we have made that will stay with us through life. The trick would be to not let them control you life.

i pick myself 'p, analyze the mistake to see what could'a been done/said diff'rent'n move'n. if'n ya don't learn from 'em, ya tend to repeat. there'd be no worth to dwell'n 'em, they jest bring yer self-esteem down.

I often look at my mistakes as learning experiences.
