We are often rattled by the mistakes that occur in our lives. The ones others make that affect us, or the ones we make. Because no one likes when plans go awry. No one enjoys when there is a mess to clean up at work or in our homes. When something doesn’t work out and we need to figure out a new way forward.

Our 17th Life Equation is Mistakes = Training.
