I’ve been thinking about the importance of avoiding “unforced errors.” Unforced errors are mistakes that you choose rather than those that are forced upon you. Examples: -choosing to live beyond your means -choosing to cheat while in a relationship What else?
I think an unforced error isn’t about choice or willpower but being baited, either by an adversary or our own ego. Anything that causes us to overreach or act from an unbalanced foundation.
