How do I grow from mistakes instead of repeating them?

Here are two powerful ways to grow through your experiences:

1. Ask: How did I contribute?

What did I do?
What could I have done differently?
Where is my learning?

Because every experience comes with a lesson.

And if you don’t take the lesson, you repeat the cycle.

2. Practice empathy — for others and yourself

Be the person who holds space.

Create safety.

Because people cannot grow in environments where mistakes are punished.

They grow where they are understood.
