We are conditioned to believe we must be punished when we make a mistake.
When we instead should have been taught that when we are wrong or make a mistake,
we should be corrected and guided in love.
Punishment is what you get when you are wrong, and that causes fear.
You experience that lump in your throat or stomach because you fear what will happen to you.
We don’t fear making mistakes when we are guided and corrected in love, compassion, and understanding.
We see it as an opportunity to learn,
and when you learn from your mistakes, you grow from your mistakes.
Beautifully expressed! I couldn’t agree more with your perspective. Punishment, often rooted in fear, tends to create negative emotions and hinders personal growth. It’s crucial to shift our approach towards understanding and compassion when addressing mistakes. By embracing a mindset of correction and guidance rooted in love, we create a safe space for learning and growth. When we see mistakes as opportunities rather than failures, we open ourselves up to invaluable lessons and the chance to become better versions of ourselves. Let us continue to foster an environment of love, compassion, and understanding, where mistakes are seen as stepping stones on the path to progress.
