Peter Sorgenfrei reflects on mistakes as opportunities for growth, drawing on James Joyce to argue that errors are gateways to discovery rather than failures to avoid.
James Joyce said, the mistakes are the portals to discovery. Whenever we feel like we're making a mistake, another way of looking at it is, what am I going to discover here? What am I going to discover about myself, about the process, about the reaction of others? Whenever we label something a mistake, a reframe, a good reframe, is, as James Joyce put it, to reframe it as, this is just a portal to discovery.
