Don't kiss mistakes "Goodbye"

Tweet

My mom often told me that mistakes were good for me "Don't disregard your mistakes." Over the years, now that I am older and in my golden years, I always tell my kids what my mother used to tell me, as well. At the time, mistakes weren't exceptionally the things that were good for me and my family. Things I was not very proud of, and ashamed of. Or I wished I had not existed or changed my identity. I think, as I get older, I slowly begin to accept that mistakes are natural events in my existence that, sometimes put me to the lowest ebb of my life. I wished those mistakes never happened. But they did. And I'm done with guilt and blame. I'm done with mediocrity and getting-bys, what-will-be-will-be kind of thinking. I am extra careful now that before I make a move of anything. I plan my strategies. If it involves money, I save up; if something or loved ones mean "they are important to me, I try to make it work for me and for them. Mistakes will always creep at the door. But so what, I'm a patient better person now to welcome them as they happen. An then, back to strategy 1 and so forth to avoid the same mistakes again. When I sail through a day without mistakes such as: helping someone feel important and specially needed, making an effect in their lives, I just indulge myself some secret praising and a pat on my back. How about you? What's your plan today?
