But there are mistakes that are necessary. Sometimes you have to die a little bit to get back to live a little longer.
I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being - forgive me - rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.
It's just that... I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
You can never make the same mistake twice. Because the second time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choise.
Examined from another angle, your faults and weaknesses can be weapons.
Mistakes are not shackles that halt one from stepping forward. Rather, they are that which sustain and grow one's heart.

6I make mistakes
Just like everybody else
But instead of letting go of it
I can't forgive myself
Just like everybody else
But instead of letting go of it
I can't forgive myself

6Sometimes our best decisions are the ones that don't make any sense at all.
Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother - Season 5 Episode 20
6Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians - 3, 13
6Whenever you leave behind failure, you're doing good. If you think everything you've done is great, you're probably dumb.
The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.
'Of course I do,' he said. 'Failing sucks. But it's better than the alternative.'
'Which is?'
'Not even trying.' Now he did look at me, straight on.
'Life's short, you know?'
'Which is?'
'Not even trying.' Now he did look at me, straight on.
'Life's short, you know?'
Sometimes, even when you know something's a mistake, you gotta make it anyway.
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.
Human beings have an almost unlimited capacity for self-delusion. We can justify any amount of sadness if it fits our own particular standard of reality.
You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.
'You want to talk about failure?' He looked up at me, meeting my eyes. 'Try being the one who was driving. Who got to live.'
The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

Doesn't matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, Trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point: All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward, it's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.

36In the beginning of a jorney, no one knows what to expect. They might have a vague idea the road ahead could be rough. That's what makes new beginnings so exciting. You don't know what will happen until it's over.
