Rename it a Success

My spiritual advisor writes that the word "mistake" means "misunderstood", to take wrongly, to estimate incorrectly or a fault in interpretation.

Perhaps your mistakes are merely experiences which you have misunderstood. You called them mistakes because you didn't know how to interpret them correctly.

There are no mistakes. This is very important. You need to know there are only experiences which we have not understood so we gave them a false interpretation. Say to your mistakes, " Here is an experience that I have not understood, so I have labeled this experience incorrectly, I have falsely interpreted it by labeling it a 'mistake', but there are no mistakes."

Out of apparent failure comes success. Many a success has been built upon apparent failure. What has appeared to be a failure can still lead me to success -something good will come from this experience, so I rename it a SUCCESS.
