Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

The quotation condenses a familiar Robbins theme: personal growth comes less from avoiding error than from engaging life intensely and treating mistakes as feedback. It urges a shift from perfectionism (which can produce fear and paralysis) to “excellent” humanness—self-care, friendship, play, and experimentation—paired with responsibility for learning. The line about “find the cause… and eliminate it” reflects a pragmatic, problem-solving ethos: identify patterns, adjust behavior, and move forward rather than indulging shame. Overall, it frames a full life as one that embraces risk, humor, and imperfection while continually converting setbacks into improvement.
