Even a Mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary – Henry Ford

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary: It is scary to make mistakes and face the undesirable outcomes. But this quote argues that these mistakes are necessary to help us find the right path. Sometimes we’re so caught up in just the mistake alone that we miss the big picture. In the big picture, life is large and these mistakes help us find the right path for our future and life.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary

We can blame the mistakes as much as we want, but they are not going to make things better. Blame is a weak position that helps us protect our ego. But beyond this ego, is the ability to learn from these mistakes and move forward in life. Mistakes help us be humble and grow. They aid us to find the right path to achieve our goals. Instead of treating them with pain and discomfort, maybe we should embrace them and learn from them.

Meaning of these mistakes in life

Let us look at one the biggest mistakes we have done in our life so far – A recent one doesn’t count though, cos the more recent it is the bigger it seems. Let us think of something which happened a long time ago. And something we have resolved.

How does it feel looking back at it now? Years later? Does it seem like a silly one? Does it feel like something simple? Something in retrospect seems like the one which could be solved at the blink of an eye?

Well perhaps I am striking a chord with a few here and probably not with few more. But either cases, lets try to read on. The point I am trying to think of here is those very mistakes which we made a long time ago, no wonder felt bit, felt monstrous at those moments. But now if we look at them, maybe from a certain view point, it seems as though it was very necessary.

They help us grow and become who we are

The very mistake was necessary to make us who we are today. The very mistake made us grow beyond our limits and our thoughts of who we are and the definitions we like to stand up for. Of course those were big at the time they happened, it did feel like there was no way out of it. Well now we know there was. Now at one end it feels like those mistakes were very necessary for our definition now.

The very mistakes which were quintessential and maybe the very things needed for our lives, for what we define as successes, achievements and so on. Perhaps sometimes it might makes sense to appreciate a few of these mistakes.
