After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

-Sophia Loren

I have made many mistakes in my life, I like the fact that Sophia Loren refers to this as “the process of self-discovery”. That’s exactly what I feel that it was, taking risks to live my life to the fullest. As she tries to get across in this quote, instead of beating ourselves up for making mistakes, we should be cognizant of the fact that we are living our life to the full extent. That can never be a mistake. In doing so, we learn the essence of who we truly are.
