How to avoid mistakes in life?

You don’t, but you can learn from a mistake to avoid it happening again, or deal with it more effectively if it does happen again.

The thing is, you probably are not even aware of most of the mistakes you are making.

So even more important is to be aware of your habits, so you can see where you are making mistakes that you didn’t even realize you were making.

Recognising and tackling situations is how we learn.

When we handle those situations in a way that leads to a negative outcome, we call them mistakes.

When they don’t we call them successes.

Even if what we did was the same thing, but external forces swayed things one way or the other.

So learning to look wider than the immediate situation and adapt to circumstances can be a real way to avoid the negative outcomes we call mistakes.
