“Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.”
~ Unknown
Yes, very often we keep dwelling on our mistakes. “Oh why did I have to do this blunder, Oh I wish I had not done it. Oh God I am so stupid to have done this.” We keep criticizing our self, instead of letting go of the mistake, forgiving our self and correcting it or reforming our self. “No use crying over spilt milk.” And if we continue doing so, we are stealing our self of our joy, peace, progress and our time. Very often we make our loved ones also miserable by doing so.
We need to be humble. Its human to make a mistake. But it requires courage and humility to forgive, to be kind to our self and be determined not to repeat it. It may even happen that we may repeat the same mistake again. Yet we must be patient with our self and try again. “Practise makes a man perfect.”. I remember when I was taking my typing lessons, I would make many mistakes. This would happen often. At times I would be tempted to give it up. But with the teachers guidance, a lot of patience, humility, courage and practise I became perfect in my typing.
We are always kind to others. But are we kind to our self when we make a mistake? We need to be kind and patient. Its worth the effort. We grow in grace and gain much good.
Thanks so very much dear Evan. You so lovingly prepare these inspirations on your blog, that it meets the need of the day, every day. And I am sure this holds true for all your readers. “What blesses one, blesses all.”
Growing in grace leads us to step back for a moment. I try and rationalize my actions before I put them into play.
thank you Evan, for that one important sentence to think about.
And Nergish, thank you so much for your inspiring and senceful explanations. Its so true and helpful what you said – thanks and have a great day!
Wow! The perfect reminder I needed today! Thanks, as always, Evan! Let’s all take a break from our mistakes today! XOXO!
I have found as equally important the tendency to want to hold on to something I worked hard to achieve, or something I value, instead of realizing I have to let go to advance and evolve because it’s not about me but who and what I AM!
Patty, your comments just created an “aha” moment for me that I needed. Thank you for sharing. Bless you Evan for your inspiring messages.
Thanks for your genuine appreciation Uta. You have always been so kind and I remember once when I could not solve an issue, you gave me your guidance and a healing answer to me. You too have a great day Uta.
Hey Evan and All! I had to go searching to find this Blog, posted for yesterday and I haven ‘t gotten one for today in my InBox. Anyone else having the same situation…??? Any clues, Evan…??
Thanks Evan and Nergish. Might I add, don’t waste time believing it either just because it fooled for a while.
Yes Bevi I too did not get the Spirit View for 13.7.2016 i.e. yesterday. At times it happens, but gets resolved soon. So don’t worry we will get it today. Wish you well.
