I am sitting down, it is 12:46 am November 7th. I was looking at picture from some various friends (this blog is about me not anyone). As I was looking at the pictures I was watching moments from my past flash in front of my eyes. As I was looking at them, I was reminded of things from my past, the mistakes.

Mistakes I knew I was making, yet I chose in those moments of time to make the mistakes.

I can remember moments where I knew what I was doing was stupid, wrong, and selfish, yet I continued to chose the mistake. I know we have all heard the phase, “You learn from your mistakes.” Unfortunately at times I feel we may use this as a scape goat, a get out of jail free, or just say “it won’t happen again, this is the last time.” Yes, we do learn from our mistakes, but when I learned a lesson in school I tented  to use the correct answer and not the wrong one…

So what are we learning from the past mistakes if we let the past repeat itself?

The question begs to be asked… When is the last time you made a mistake and then told yourself, “I will never do that again” or “I’ll never do that again.”

One mistake, can be a place of great growth or the beginning of a vicious self inflicted defeat.

Think about it… the next time you are making a mistake. Ask yourself, is this a mistake I know I am making? If the answer is yes, learn before you mistake.

love.
