Own Your Mistakes, You Can’t Grow Without Them.

 

 

Mistakes, hmmm yes, I  have had several of those, I know am not the best judge of things and characters, I have made lot of wrong decisions and taken loads of wrong turns in life, many a times, after a while I do wish I could take it all back, my decisions that is, wish I could go back and take the right turn, wish i had known better, but what would i know if i hadn’t made any mistake? I wouldn’t have learnt anything , I wouldn’t be matured  neither would i be intelligent or wise.

However, u know there is a difference from someone who acknowledges and are aware of their mistake and someone who hasn’t? I act on impulse, forgetting there are consequences for my every action. Forgetting every decisions I made no matter how minor or major has a significance.  I sit and think about these things and I realize as long as am alive I have the chance to make things better to try to evolve from my mistakes, that’s why today is a present, a gift, an opportunity, I best not waste my time brooding on spilled milks and my numerous ” What ifs”.

I have to stop living in the fear that I will make more mistakes, I have to stop thinking that the whole world is moving on except me, I have to ditch my ” if onlys”. What’s done is done, I should address my fears in my mind, I should face my fears and break them down, I should make peace with myself that mistakes are part of life,that my mistakes has helped me grow to be who I am becoming.

Life is short they say, time waits for no man, those sayings seems ironic, but it’s true, I have to live for me, knowing its ok to fall many times as long as I keep getting up. I own my mistakes, I own my oops.

As a matter of fact, my mistakes doesn’t define me, my mistakes isn’t even my identity, my mistakes isn’t no ones opinion, they are mine to learn from, to grow from, mine and mine alone.

No matter my current circumstances, I just need to keep going, I have to proceed, its hard, challenging, impossible even, but I know where I am coming from, I have to keep going, no fuel, no light, these are consequences from other peoples mistakes, wont let it affect mine, I have to see beyond my current disabilities, and find strength in my abilities.
