Mistakes Were Made

There are times in life when you suddenly realize that you have done something wrong. At those times, I think it is human nature to throw blame all around, scattering it as you would scatter seeds in a field, but it is often unhealthy to do so. Personally, I find it especially damaging to relive all my mistakes asking myself what I could have done better and then wallowing in my lost opportunities. While it is good to learn from our mistakes and overcome them to be better, anything that tells you that you are not a valuable human being is just wrong. Instead it can often be helpful to accept that mistakes were made, learn from them, and move on making better decisions in the present and future. No decision you make can undo the past, but perhaps your decisions in the future just might bring you the joy you so earnestly seek in life. Go forward with positivity and you can accomplish anything you want and desire!
