Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

I’ve known those words in the photo for some time. But, this morning, when I saw that quote again, written in red and green colours on a cardboard paper, it did two things to me:

First, it was a reminder that mistakes are inevitable.

And, secondly, it made me recognise that, for a while now, I’ve been consumed with the need to live a life without mistakes. You know, life happens and one’s heart shuts out many things—more like a defense mechanism; a protection. As much as it’s not entirely a bad thing to be conscious about making mistakes, it becomes a thing to worry about when that need won’t allow you to do the things your heart yearns for.

Although I know I’m still not ready, I’m now well aware that there’s hardly any growth without mistakes.

And just as I was instructed by Einstein’s words, I decided to leave these ones here—who knows who may find it helpful!

Have a great week ahead.
