Life

Some where a long the way, people came to this unfortunate conclusion that it's not ok to make mistakes. So they practically wrap their kids in bubble wrap or have a safety net for them. They never allow them to make even the most basic mistake.

Even famous people through out history have made mistakes. Some times numerous time. Without these mistakes they would have never learned what does and does not work. These are all part of the right of passage in the game of life. Without these learning experiences, small things suddenly become these blown out of proportion life changing experiences that cause lots of unnecessary drama and stress.

Mistakes are part of learning survival and growing skills. No one knows everything. This misconception that mistakes are bad is what is causing the younger generations to over react an commit suicide or stress out over things that are easily fixed. When you deny people these learning  opportunities; your are stealing from them an opportunity to learn something valuable about themselves. You not allowing them to learn problem solving skills.

You in essence teaching them that their failures and not smart enough to solve their own life problems. This unfortunately makes the situation worse. The reason people make mistakes or encounter problems is to teach them small solutions from a young age; so they are able to handle adult solutions to problems as they become adults. To have more confidence in themselves and less stress.

Without these progressions, these people are unprepared for life and have a bigger learning curve. They must take steps backwards to learn some of; if not all of the basics that they were denied learning to begin with.
