Is the mistake a wrong note or is the mistake the distraction it causes you, which takes away from connection with your audience?
Is the mistake tripping over a cable or is it taking the audience for granted?
Is the mistake your voice cracking on the high note or is it a failure to prepare?
Is the mistake not hitting the lighting cue or is it the failure of giving the audience an extra special moment if you would have hit the cue?
Is a mistake missing dance step or the look you gave your fellow performer when they missed one?
Technical mistakes are the easiest to point out and the ones most often pointed out. But I don’t think many artists got into this to parade their technical perfection.
The types of mistakes you focus on goes a long way in revealing your answer to, ‘why are we doing this?’
