Learning from mistakes


In the world of learning mistakes are a welcome part of the process. We have room to explore, try something one way, try it another way, and still another.
The goal in this type of learning isn't necessarily to do it right, but rather to test out other ways of doing something.
To see if there is another way of doing the same thing.
Knowing more than 2 ways of doing something gives us a choice in how to live our lives.
.
Moshe Feldenkrais said doing something one way consistently is nothing more than compulsion.
Knowing only two ways is an ultimatum.
But when we can know 3 or more ways how to do something then we can truly learn to be human.
.
So we play while in lessons, to see what other possibilities can become available for us.
So we can become more fully human.
.
Let go of the myth of perfection and allow yourself the room to make mistakes, it's the best way to learn how to do something new.
