Learning From My Mistakes

It’s undeniable we all make mistakes. It’s in our nature as humans to fail, whether in our work environment, family life, or relationships. We are all doomed to disappoint ourselves at some point, but that doesn’t mean we must succumb to self-deprecation. Living with a mistake is complex, and learning to forgive yourself afterward is even more challenging. However, if you continue to let your messes define instead of better you, then you’ll only be making your life more troublesome than it would be otherwise. Instead, reflect on why you did what you did. There’s always a reason behind any conscious wrongdoing. Always. Often we get so caught up in our emotions following the incident that we forget to acknowledge the causes leading up to it. Be honest with yourself and those you may have hurt. The most challenging task, besides self-forgiveness, is often the act of admitting the mistake. It’s so easy to come up with excuses or find ways to skirt around the subject. However, at the end of the day, honesty is the best policy that will ultimately set you FREE!
