Learning involves making mistakes. Sports coaches and theatre directors specialize in detecting small mistakes in movement, tone, facial expression in order to correct them. The subtle suggestions for improvement help a person improve. To be afraid of mistakes is to stop learning. Meditation helps me see a mistake in thinking so I can shift it before it turns into action.
Today let me be a good coach to myself and catch the small mistakes in thinking and correct them.
