A silly mistake is like the thorn that you can’t get out of your foot.

If you cannot see the thorn, you may be tempted to ignore it. But every step reminds you the thorn is there, it keeps nagging you till you do something about it. If the thorn is embedded too deep for your fingers, or tweezers, its time to bring out the scalpel. If you don’t pull out the thorn soon, the problem gets worse and more serious.

If you don’t get past your silly mistakes, the outcome will be the same as not pulling the thorn out of your foot.

There may be deep rooted phobias or prior traumatic experiences that cause you to cling to your silly mistake, and not put it behind you. Regardless, the treatment for thorns and silly mistakes is the same. Pull them out, discard them, and move on. Learn from your mistakes the best you can.
