No matter whether your next choice takes you forward or backward with regard to your finances, relationships, or short term goals, every choice that you make will always carry you forward on the level of awareness. There is no such thing as losing awareness or going backward in terms of your level of awareness. You cannot sacrifice awareness once it has been gained, it simply continues to grow. Awareness, life experience, spiritual understanding, all one and the same.
From this vantage point it is clear that there really are no mistakes. A mistake is something that leads you away from where you say you want to go. So the choices you make can only be called a mistake with regard to a particular goal or some small separated set of elements. With regard to the larger picture and grander purpose of being here on the planet, of being alive, you can only move forward. It is not possible to move away from life experience, you can only move toward it. There is nothing you can do that will not take you further into the experience of living, which is ultimately why we are here. We are not here to live "the right way", we are simply here to live, to experience Life in any way we choose. In this you cannot fail. There is no moving backward. Ultimately, every choice leads you forward.
Practice viewing your life in this way. When you are tempted to call something a mistake, remind yourself what this mistake has taught you, what new awareness it has led you to. Once you do so, you will see the benefit to making that mistake, you will see the purpose of it. Once you realize the benefit of making mistakes, how, then, can you call those choices mistakes?
