It happens unconsciously, yet a powerful way of massaging our own ego. It is scary if we try to understand the reasons why we try to do this. Hence, a powerful reminder about judging people because if we keep judging them, we have very little time to love them.
Meaning of Do Not Judge me by my Successes – Success has a bad habit of painting a rosy picture. And somehow we belong to a culture where failures are brutally criticised and successes hailed to glory. However, at the core of it – these are merely outcomes. The successes manifest as favourable ones while the failures don’t. Ultimately both success and failure have a message for us.
Failures are hard to deal with. It is worse when you start worrying about your emotional connections to an outcome. The results will do enough to hurt us and make us feel sad. If we start worrying about letting ourselves or others down and move into the rabbit hole of an emotional conundrum, there’s no hope for success.
Freedom to make mistakes: I love this quote by Mahatma Gandhi – Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. In this article, we talk about freedom in your own personal/individual life. Freedom is reflective of choices and the ability to define the path of our lives. In this article, we discuss what these choices mean, mistakes and how well we take ownership of these choices. Ultimately, the freedom to make mistakes is ours to own completely. If these mistakes help us grow and achieve our dreams, then I’d argue that these are the most important things in your life.
Wisdom Comes from Experience: This quote represents a certain amount of irony but I cannot find a truer one for the quote of the day section today. I’ve often debated this thought in my head about experience vs wisdom. I hate making mistakes – particularly the ones that have a negative impact on me. Even with that, I can look back at my experiences and can see quite a few of them which are great learning experiences!
A witty saying proves nothing: A funny, clever Voltaire quote that talks about actions vs words. I think we all meet some wonderfully clever people, but it’s only the actions that lead us to results. It is closely similar to the quote – It is not enough to have a great mind, Rene Descartes.
