Mistakes

Wednesday, September 06, 2006

In life, we all make mistakes. I hate to say mistake, because I feel there aren't really mistakes to be made, just learning experiences to learn from. At work, it's possible to make a mistake, which I love to call the ultimate "Fuck Up." However, through the fuck up, you learn. Through many years of experience, in relation to work, we learn. I feel the best way to learn is through listening, through watching, through reading. Through my work experience, which is many years in one field, I learned of course through experience, but majority of my expertise was built on learning from the best and allowing others with seniority in the field to be my teacher. I detest making mistakes. In my personal life, yea I've encountered a lot, live with a lot, made some bad choices, not mistakes, all of which I've learned from. Learned and got the lesson from every bad choice, every mistake. When people set out to make a mistake, know that what they're doing or indulging in is "wrong", it's always safer to just stop and run away. The wisest thing to do is to admit your mistake, show what you've learned. The other person on the receiving end, will have no choice but to show forgiveness. Forgiveness, a word I tend to gravitate to, to use a lot, is very deep for me. In this life, I have forgiven a man who robbed many years of me, a man who brutally assaulted me, a man who violated me for absolutely no reason, a man who tore one of my favorite dresses. I know if I'm capable of forgiving him, then my life will be better for me, so I did it. So in essence, I've learned that forgiveness is the gift you give YOURSELF. Everyone is worthy of being forgiven, because in life, we all make mistakes, we have all made poor choices that led us somewhere. Usually that somewhere is to another bad place. So in life, if you never get that forgiveness from that specific person, know that you have to forgive yourself, you can forgive yourself. Nothing in life is that bad, bad is when there is death, death of a loved one, or the death of yourself even though you still have life inside of you. So as far as mistakes are concerned, make your mistakes, learn from them, ask or give forgiveness, because it really is the bandaid that makes it all better. You'll feel better and life is about being and feeling the best you could. With good people around you, with good thoughts, and with the gift of forgiveness, it will make you better in life, because we only travel this route once. People come into and out of our lives always at the right moment, some you don't want to leave, some, you never ever, ever want to leave. These choices or mistakes are up to you, coming from someone who feels there are NO MISTAKES. There should never be any fighting and forgiveness should be given everywhere, especially all around the world. Oh and did I mention, I hate fighting. I'm a lover, not a fighter. No mistake here only forgiveness, because it makes me better, makes me get through the day better with a lighter heart.
