We must remember that there really aren’t any mistakes that we make in our lives, we only make only choices that we didn’t think through enough. We tend to rush things because we want instant gratification from our choices and so often we tell ourselves that “I made a mistake’ when really we ended up doing what we thought was the easiest way to achieve success without having to do any difficult work to get us there!
It is so important for us to see that life is all about the choices we make which will lead us down our journies throughout our lifetimes. As soon as we label an action that we took that did not turn out the way we wanted it to, we call it a mistake which in turn allows us to not take any true responsibility for our actions. Choices ARE choices and they are not guesses that can turn into mistakes but ideas or actions that we think we will benefit from.
Every decision that we make is a choice that requires us to be responsible for its outcome. So often we let our egos rule how we see our lives and this can become so dangerous for our mental and emotional growth. Calling the choice a mistake allows us to avoid finding the more difficult real path for us to go down! “Oh I made a mistake!” just does not fit!
