Taking Risks

If you shut your door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

                                               —Rabindranath Tagore

Some of the most brilliant discoveries have resulted from human error. Christopher Columbus discovered America as the result of a navigation error. The discovery of  penicillin was a  laboratory accident.

If we try to live without making mistakes, we limit our opportunities to learn.

Affirmation: I do not have to be perfect today. My mistakes will teach me more about myself and the world around me.
