Embrace Your Mistakes

Posted - Dec• 21•15

“Isn’t it hard to admit when you are wrong?”

“No, not at all.  I know that I’ll make even more mistakes in the future.  I’m living in a human body – it’s inevitable.  So when I am wrong I simply admit it and move on – hoping to not repeat the same mistake in the future.”

Living in a physical body comes with many things – one of which is the capability to make mistakes.  Part of this human existence is to experience those mistakes and to learn from them.  It’s how we handle our mistakes that counts – for we all have made mistakes in the past, and will make many more in the future.

The interesting thing is that when someone thinks they have made a “mistake” there are “higher” things at play and everything is in perfect order.   That means there really are no mistakes.  Yes, we understand that there are many times when you look back on an event and wished that you would have done things differently.  Maybe you didn’t like your behavior or the way you reacted to another person.  Those things are in perfect order and played out the way they did for a reason.  Everything happens for a reason, it’s just that we usually do not know that said reason.

The key to living a life of peace and calm, is to accept the “mistakes” and “errors in judgment” that we make and to move onward.  Yes, we should objectively review how we could have done things differently and then let go – only trying to avoid the same behaviors in the future.

Another key is to understand that you can only review your own behaviors.  The behaviors and actions of others is for their review and is not of your concern.  Yes, there are tendencies to analyze other’s behaviors to attempt to understand their feelings toward you, but that effort is grounded more in your ego than in love.

When we ground our relationships in love, we accept the “humanness” of others and understand that they, too, make so-called “mistakes.”   Let those apparent lapses in judgment lie, for them to maybe someday review.  If they are not yet ready to review those “lapses” that too, is in perfect order.

The lessons appear when the student is ready, and continue to appear until the student acknowledges and learns from those lessons.  Let others learn at their own pace, while you deal with your own lessons of life!

    This really hit the mark today. It is difficult to let go of the anger even after one reviews the mistake.
