If we stop making mistakes we will stop learning. The beautiful thing about mistakes is we can always correct them. Though some mistakes can be corrected and some cannot. It is completely normal to make mistakes.

If you shouted at your parents or friends you can always correct your mistake by saying sorry
If you judged someone wrong you can correct that
If you misbehaved with someone you can correct that

Life always allows us to correct our mistakes.

Mistakes make us think outside the box and come out of our comfort zone. Making mistakes does not define us. We all are human beings and nobody is perfect in this world. So never feel bad if you make mistake. Instead, accept it with full courage.

The mistake you made is not your judging factor but how you learn and recover from it is what defines you. You should have the ability to deal with mistakes. Our first approach in doing something is not to make mistakes. But we forget mistakes are inevitable. Our focus should be on recovering from a mistake.
