Fired as a delivery driver after a mistake, but staying positive and moving forward

I got fired today, and I'm still in shock. I was working as a delivery driver and made a mistake yesterday by delivering a part to the wrong shop. As soon as I realized, I went back, retrieved the part, and delivered it to the correct location. I even texted my manager to let him know the issue was resolved. But today, I received a text saying the store wanted to 'go a different direction' because I had been making 'a lot of mistakes.' What really hurts is that I was never warned about my job being in jeopardy. If someone had spoken to me about my mistakes, I would have taken it seriously and worked on improving. In fact, I had already come up with a new system to track my deliveries more effectively. Instead of being given a chance to show my improvement, I was let go. I know I wasn't a perfect employee, but I took responsibility for my mistake and learned from it. This whole situation feels incredibly frustrating. Despite the disappointment, I'm trying to remain positive and not let this define me. Losing this job doesn't make me a bad worker or person; everyone makes mistakes. I'm planning to update my résumé and look for a new job that pays better, ideally something that allows me to work from home or doesn't involve so much wear and tear on my car. I see this as a setback, not the end of my journey.
