Do You OWN Your Mistakes or Do They OWN You? _ A To Z Challenge Post

“We are products of our past, 

but we don't have 

to be prisoners of it.”
― Rick Warren

 Most people develop a 

childhood habit of dodging 

punishment for mistakes, 

but it's a habit that must be broken. 

Taking responsibility 

when things go wrong 

is crucially important 

to building trust with others 

and learning from your mistakes. 

Dysfunctional parents 

enforce rules arbitrarily

 and consequences for mistakes

 are inconsistent and unpredictable. 

In the face of irrational punishment 

and anger that they can’t reason with, 

children learn that 

the only solution 

is to evade reality. 

  As you make the transition from 

childhood to adulthood,

 it is a habit you have to 

learn to leave behind. 

If you don’t, 

you will continually lose 

trust with employers and friends,

And even more importantly, 

you will never learn from your mistakes.

ARE YOU IN

DEALING WITH YOUR

MISTAKES?
