Mistakes

I firmly believe that people make mistakes in life. Whether they are small mistakes or big mistakes....nobody is perfect. I've made my fair share of judgment errors and I think that a person can only "pay" so much for a mistake that is made. Now, don't confuse this with choices...because choices are thought out and planned. Mistakes are errors in thinking that cause a large mess. People like me beat themselves up enough over mistakes that we know what we messed up on and what needs to be fixed or avoided in the future.

I see good people raked over the coals for an error in thinking...or a bad choice. Everyone makes mistakes and, again, nobody is perfect. Does it make us bad people if we mess up? No...it makes us human. It isn't healthy or good to constantly feel bad about a mistake that you cannot take back. I wish that was true because I'd gladly step in a time machine and fix all of my past errors.

Sadly, that isn't possible and we have to deal with our mistakes and errors in thinking and hopefully one day, we can move past it.
