Do you ever make a mistake? Sure…we all do. Part of our shared life experience is that we’re not perfect.

Sometimes the screw-ups are little and sometimes they’re not so little, and they all have one thing in common: they’re a major part of how we learn.

One of my dogs is a therapy dog who works one-on-one with children, helping them hone their reading skills. One little boy brought in two books – one he’s read many times and one he’d never read before. The one that was new to him was just at the edge of his reading skills and he made a few mistakes.

As much as possible I make suggestions as if they come from Archie the dog, and in this instance, Archie told the little boy that mistakes are good things because that’s how he would learn even bigger words.

I wish I could share the look of joy on that little boy’s face – he stopped being ashamed of the mistakes and was eager to read so he could learn more words. Be like that little boy…embrace your mistakes and let the opportunities to grow excite you, too.
