Mistakes & Lessons

How often do we beat ourselves up over mistakes? We've all been there. What I've learned is this, accept full responsibility for the decision but more importantly learn from it. Life is a never ending classroom. Many times we fail our courses and must repeat them because we're not gaining the wisdom of our mistakes.

Each of them are there to teach us and to make us better. Some are harder to accept but it's always for our benefit. Have you ever questioned God wanting to know why this or that is happening? I certainly have, so often the reasons aren't revealed until we're mature enough to understand. And there are times when it's never revealed. As my life goes on I am taking a closer look, more of an inventory of how I'm living and how I can be better at it. It's an on going process and gradually I'm enjoying the journey more. I was the person who wanted to bypass the journey and get to the destination. Get it done already was my attitude, but as I evolve so does my perspective. We tend to have an unbalanced take on responsibility and grace towards ourselves. Many refuse to accept the consequences for their actions while others spend a lifetime tearing themselves down. I want to encourage you as well as myself to always take accountability for our actions. While realizing we are imperfect, mistakes are inevitable. But the most valuable thing is to remain open to what it's there to show us about ourselves. I hope you are inspired to be kind to yourself and wise enough to remain open to learning all that your mistakes are there to teach. We are unstuck and we are free.
