William Martin "Billy" Joel, an American singer-songwriter and pianist, the sixth best-selling recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United States,says-
[b] "It's okay if you mess up.
You should give yourself a break"[/b]
We are all human beings. We tend to make mistakes. It is said that "if you have never made a mistake in life, it means you have never been on the right path."
So sometimes, it is okay to make mistakes and get a little mad at ourselves but we should do not let it go out of our hand.
We don't have to think about our past mistakes all the time and hate ourselves. Then that past will ruin the present. So,we should not let that past conquer our present.
We are fine until we are learning from our past mistakes. Thus, the best thing to do when you realize about your mistake is, get a little mad at yourself, learn from your mistake, forgive yourself and move on with life.
Hence for Today- Lesson no 4:
"I'll forgive myself for my past mistakes."

To err is the human, to forgive is divine. We are not infallible. When we execute something, we are likely to commit mistakes. We should learn from our mistakes rather than feeling repentant.

Yes. The great, Einstein said- " The only source of knowledge is experience". The experience comes only when you have tried something new. During that new experience, we make lot of mistakes so it is okay. More the mistakes, more will be the learning and something that we learn by our own mistakes can never be forgotten.

this is good advice, it's good to remember that whatever happened in the past, you can always find a way to have a better time in the future.

Yes, might have faced lots of problems in past and wouldn't have been able to solve them efficiently but that's okay, because we all are, after all, humans. We can not be ideal. We can not do everything always, right. If everything that you have done, had been right, you would have had no lessons to share to the world. We couldn't have been able to give our share of good to the world.
