Mistakes-The Haunting Ghosts?

Mistakes-The haunting Ghosts?

One thing that everyone fears in life is making a mistake. Mistakes are often taken to self-esteem and pride. Sometimes so much that they can lead people into the sad world of depression and fear. I wonder what it is about mistakes that make us so frightful of them. Why are mistakes always taken as something that is bad?

History has stated bad mistakes which have set bad examples and have led people to wrong doings. Yes, nobody would want that to ever happen if it hurt human life in anyway. But I am not talking about mistakes like those; I am referring here to the lesser complex mistakes that we make in our normal routine lives. I am talking about the decisions that we make, which when go haywire we consider them a mistake. Decisions about relationships, family, career and so on; decisions about our life that affect it on a daily basis.

I believe that mistakes are like the opening of new gateways in our lives. They help us to have a better understanding of the different elements of life. Every decision that you have considered a mistake, for a few seconds think about it more deeply. Let us take for example our career. We make the wrong choice. We chose a profession that we are not happy with. So what? Do we then just take it as one big mistake and spend the rest of our life repenting our decision? Certainly not! Let us take other example-relationships. We misbehaved with someone, were unfair to someone who loved us or we took the wrong person for being the love of our life. So in all these circumstances do we just sit back thinking oh we made a mistake, our life is ruined now or that I am a person capable of nothing? NO! Absolutely not! That should probably be one of the last things on our mind if at all they are there.

We have one life to ourselves. It is a blessing bestowed upon us, we cannot just waste it like that. It is okay to take the wrong decision or to make the wrong choices. Be an optimist, if we took a wrong decision we can also find ways to make it better. Always take them as a way of realizing where you fell short in life. And falling short is not a bad thing; it always helps us to improve ourselves. Always improvise on the decisions you made that went the wrong way, never repent them. Mistakes are in a funny way one of the best things that happen to you. They have the power of bringing out the better in you, they are a way of keeping a check on you, a way of realizing the true potential that lies buried in you; however, only if taken the right away. Also had you not taken the wrong decision you wouldn't have come to know of so many other possibilities that exist around you, for you.

 Take your “mistakes” in the right spirit always. Believe me if you do, your life is going to be of the kind that everyone aspires to have. Life is a beautiful thing. Take everything it has to offer to you in a way that you can make the best out of it; even the mistakes. Do not allow them to be ghosts that will haunt you forever.
