ACCENTUATE your
mistakes
SHINE the spotlight
on wherever you go wrong
BE unafraid to
speak up and say something foolish
This is Life
You’re here to LEARN
BE Uncertain
& BEwildered
Say YES to I don’t know!!!
Okay, it’s just you and me and these two computer screens…
Ever made a mistake? Given the wrong answer? Had one of your
wild-ass totally missed the point responses make a teacher’s top 10 screw-ups?!
What if that were the point?
What if we celebrated our mistakes rather than hiding them
inside mountains of shame?!
I knew a woman once who said something I will always
remember when I am learning, especially in that “trying to learn” phase…
NONE OF US WAS BORN WALKING!!!
Really. That’s true. And yet we act as if we must constantly
hide or apologise for the times we trip over our tongues, have a sudden onset
of brain cramping, or give the right answer to the wrong question. Or is it
wrong answer to the right question?!
I think if we encouraged ourselves more every day to BE
Uncertain & BEwildered, we might find Life a lot more fun. And if some of
us could overlook “mispelllimgs” and “gramharical” errors we’d get closer to
what we’re reading or who we’re listening to…
I love you, Currie
