Learning From Our Mistakes

For most of us, we see more clearly when we look at our experiences hindsight. We can see where we went wrong and how we could do things better. But if we were to do it again, how sure are we that we wouldn't make the same mistakes. It's not that we intend to do the same things over again, but it may take more than one time for us to learn from our mistakes. There is a reason that we make the wrong choices, but until we truly understand why we do the things we do, the universe will guide us back to where we started. It seems easy for us to see others' mistakes and make judgement on how they live their lives, but before we do, take a look at our own life. We all make mistakes and hopefully we can resolve them in time, but in order to correct them we must overcome our weaknesses and fears. By understanding who we truly are, we can then begin to move forward. Today, think about how you can change some of the patterns in your life. How can you do things differently to achieve a better outcome? You have the ability to attain all that you want, if you're honest with yourself.
Sometimes our life is like a ferris wheel, it keeps going round and round...

(I've been meeting so many people who are afraid to make mistakes in life that they have created a safe place to hide in. Not wanting to take chances, they have stopped moving forward but they are the first to make judgement on how others live their lives. I don't understand how we can grow if we're afraid to learn by making mistakes. Life is about challenging ourselves to do better so that we can help others. I have to think more about this.)
