“To engage fully in life—to learn, to create, to gain insight and awareness, to embrace ourselves and others with kindness and compassion—means allowing ourselves the simple freedom to be wrong, knowing there is no wrong way to be ourselves. Our mistakes are invaluable sources of inspiration and seeds of wisdom, labelled with the stigma of failure without us knowing what may grow from them. Through trial and error we unfold, and there is no shame in the process of blossoming, however inexact it can seem: to bloom is to live. In the freedom to be wrong, to make mistakes, exists the space to question and explore. While conviction narrows our view and hinders our growth, our doubt coupled with curiosity broadens our perspective and consciousness. From awareness comes the opportunity for understanding, and the greater our understanding, the greater our capacity is to accept and to love, to experience the fullness of life.”
