No more mistakes?

Now, that’s a raw, honest reflection—one that digs deep into what it really means to chase perfection, to fear a mistake. And to wrestle with the idea of control.

Mistakes are often painted as failures, as proof of imperfection. But it is also moments of learning, of growth, and adaptation. And to demand “no more mistakes” is to demand stillness, a life untouched by risk, and untouched by experienced.

If perfection means eliminating all possibilities of error, then it also means eliminating all possibilities of discovery. A mistake isn’t always a misstep; sometimes it’s a necessary shift that redirects the course. And no one arrives at understanding without first stumbling through confusion. And no one reaches wisdom without navigating regret. Surrendering to the idea of never making a mistake again that would be surrendering to fear, not growth.
