Episode 25: Why we are made with mistakes

This week, Mark considers how to move beyond simply learning from mistakes, to understand how our mistakes have shaped who we are, transforming regret into an experience of being more authentic. He tells a story of a mistake that was used by his boss to blackmail him, and how this one mistake haunted him until he was able to talk about it and learn to forgive himself. Only then could he see how this mistake had shaped parts of his character for good. Who we are has been shaped and made by our mistakes, including parts of ourselves that we find problematic, as well as parts of ourselves that we really value, that we would not have become were it not for our mistakes. This is not just about being able to live with our mistakes; it is about living our mistakes as part of who we are, and transforming regret into an experience of being more fully alive than ever before as we embrace our whole selves more fully and authentically than ever before.Impact Culture is available now, as a hardback, e-book and audio book: https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/books.
