I’ve noticed that when a yoga class becomes extremely challenging, a person’s true colors start to show - there's a lesson here for when you run into startup business problems.

Yoga poses can be very difficult and require a tremendous amount of calm but focused determination. Inevitably, even the most sincere students make mistakes and fall out of poses. When this happens, the most committed students maintain their composure by staying with their breath and simply re-entering the pose. They understand that the end goal of a stronger, more peaceful mind and body is still reachable regardless of “mistakes” they make along the way. I have found that these positive-minded students generally relate to mistakes outside the studio in the same healthy way.

As a teacher - and as a student - I actually look forward to mistakes in class because I know it tests my focus and leads to growth and a deeper feeling of accomplishment. The hidden pearls of greater happiness and success are there for all of us when we accept mistakes as normal and natural parts of life. Staying focused on the big picture reduces the sting of a mistake and develops our inner strength and sense of dignity.

A new look at mistakes

Behind most great success stories is a long list of mistakes! If you need a little “adjustment” of attitude about mistakes - perhaps to begin to see them as just being part of the path to success - consider some of these perspectives.
