DON'T Be Unvulnerable To Mistakes

DON'T Be Unvulnerable To Mistakes

How often do we get into that ordeal of an awful moment of clarity when we realize that we've screwed up?  WHAT happens next?  Our hearts and mind race, our paths sweat and our mouths dry up.  We consider our options and what to do next.  Hope NO one notices it?  Hide until it it blows over?  Pretend it NEVER happened?  Heyyy, DON'T Be Unvulnerable To Mistakes📙📗📘

BUT again, hope is NOT a strategy and taking timely action trumps passivity or avoidance.  And WHAT's the best thing we can do when we make a mistake is to be accountable and own it immediately.  For one, that averts a possible misunderstanding.  The benefit of immediate accountability is that we can clear and open communication about WHAT went wrong and WHY.  And hearing it directly helps diffuse possible rumors that could arise💴💵💷

Fortunately, by doing so, it will demonstrate our VULNERABILITY as a STRENGTH.  As it takes courage to admit when we've screwed up and face possible judgment and ridicule. it just makes sense that we "EMBRACE THE SUCK" that is VULNERABILITY and admit when we've made a mistake.  Insecure people will try to minimize their exposure by COVERING UP their mistakes.  We CAN'T be like them❌❌❌

From a first person basis, by acknowledging our mistakes, we'll learn from them instead of repeating them.  Studies show that by practicing this, very likely we will NO longer worry about being WRONG and instead, delight in being mistaken.  Just go to remember that we're doomed to repeat a mistake and CAN'T learn from it unless we acknowledge it✅✅✅

In a humble manner, this will send signals to others that we're just HUMAN [as they can be too].  But let us be mindful that NOT all are willing to admit to it for FEAR of looking incompetent.  Those WHO own up to their shortcomings signal that theirs is a CULTURE in which it's okay to be IMPERFECTLY HUMAN.  And when we model that behavior, we can likely create a more open CULTURE that embraces us NOT to be UNVULNERABLE TO MISTAKES🔖🔖🔖
