I’m writing in effort to invoke some thought about your overall perception of “messing up”. Do you feel like your evolving properly in terms of spirituality? Do you understand the patterns of life and how to learn from your mistakes?  First of all, making mistakes are completely natural. I’m not talking about work; those can possibly be avoided, but not life mistakes.

People spend their days with regret from decisions they’ve made. It’s like the old saying goes; you can plan a pretty picnic but not the weather.  With that said, why beat yourself up over something that’s unavoidable…or supposed to happen? What if you’re supposed to go through the negative things that happened in life? In that case, why fight it? Finding your strengths through your mistakes is a great thing to do. If something negative happens in result of a mistake, then analyze what happened, understand why things went wrong, and let it go.

Feel better because:

A) It will never happen again.

B) I’ve become wiser and stronger.

C) This will not deter me from bravely going forward and stepping up to the next challenge.

Own up to your mistakes. I know it’s difficult and embarrassing at times, but the key is to experience it, learn from it, and keep it moving. There’s no one on this planet that hasn’t messed up once or twice, so you’re definitely not alone. Wallowing in sorrow doesn’t achieve anything. Just like a test, you might get one answer wrong, but that doesn’t mean you won’t pass. You will never stop learning, so mistakes help build a better you.

Take care :)
