As long as we continue blaming outside factors, we lay the ground for countless further negative experiences.
Yet if we take on responsibility for our errors, we really can do something about it to avert future occurrences of the same kind.
How to Detect Error Error doesn't carry a special tag saying 'CAUTION - FLAWED ITEM !' - On the contrary, - like a chameleon it hides behind kaleidoscopic many forms. More often than not it is presented with huge conviction, charisma and social pressure as 'the only truth'. This force of persuasion may be so great that we deem ourselves incapable of escaping its overwhelming strength.
Yet exactly this gives us a vital clue how to identify error before it can spoil our life!
When the presentation of an idea aims mostly at bowling over all our objections, criticism and caution, a gut-feeling usually warns us that something is amiss.
It pays to listen to this faint feeling, especially if we are pressured to ignore this early warning sign.
Sleep over it, think it over, find out more details, ask others (critics) for their experiences, observe the protagonists more closely - use any appropriate method to find out why your gut warned you. This might prevent a plethora of problems.
