Mistakes and Change

Some of my worst mistakes have turned out to be the best possible scenarios. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives. It is the one's that we learn from that make us who we really are. There was a time in my life that while I was living through a mistake I had made, I didn't think I would ever be able to get away from it. That is when I learned about change. The change had to come from within me, because if we are foolish enough to think we will ever change someone else, we are doomed. Doomed to live in a world where you are always hopeful that you will be able to change some one's mind, or feelings, or their behavior. You cannot! I tried so many times to change the bad behavior some people had, to no avail. Sometimes it made is worse. It took me so long to realize that the only thing I can change, is myself. Once I learned that, I felt like a had a super power. I learned that this power could give me a way out of some of the mistakes I had made. Once you change yourself, things start to change around you. It does not always turn out the way you think it will. During some of my self changes, I realized that these mistakes around me, were not always mine to take on. It wasn't really my problem. I just learned to live with it. Learning to live with things that go against our every grain, should tell us something, inside.  If it doesn't feel good, it probably isn't. Learn to speak up to yourself. I finally did and it makes my life easier to live. I can deal with my own faults, and I am tired of living with other's problems. We learn a lot about our self when we deal with only our own mistakes.

Growing and learning from mistakes that we have made, help us become our real selves. One you learn to look within for your truths, it becomes much easier to find what we really need in this life. Once you can let go, life starts over again. Each time this happens to me, I learn something more about myself and my future.
