Summary: You know Bob Ross, right?<br> <br> <br> <br> The painter with the amazing hair and the put-you-to-sleep soothing voice.<br> <br> <br> <br> Yeah, I actually have a friend (and a husband) who both listen to his videos sometimes when they’re trying to fall asleep. True story.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> I mean, how can you not love this guy?<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m mesmerized by how effortlessly he paints.<br> <br> <br> <br> And I love his nonchalant take on imperfections.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you make a mistake in your painting... No problem!<br> <br> <br> <br> “It’s a happy accident!” Bob chuckles.<br> <br> <br> <br> According to him, it’s a perfect opportunity to make a cute little birdie in the sky.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> But what about mistakes in Real Life?<br> <br> <br> <br> Do we actually see our mistakes as happy little accidents?<br> <br> <br> <br> What if our mistakes are giving us results that we reeeally don’t want?<br> <br> <br> <br> And what if we’re making detrimental mistakes without even realizing it?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Well, my intention here is definitely not to stress you out.But I’ve gotta tell you something.<br> <br> <br> <br> I see teachers making this ONE REALLY BIG MISTAKE All.
