We have all done thing in the past that we wish we would have make them differently. Sometime the concequence of thoses things that we have done are still affecting our life.We perceive those things as mistake. Almost like something bad we did.We call them mistake.A mistake could be define as : "an action or judgment that is misguided or wrong."
When we feel that we have done something wrong in the past, we feel stuck in the present, because we are always affraid to make another mistake. What we don't realise is that mistake are in fact only miss take. If we take a child that learn how to walk. Do you think that he perceive the fact of falling as a mistake ? No he learn from, try again, fall again, learn from it, try again etc.
He repeat that process until he successfully walk. Why that child never give up ? Because he fall he didn't perceive that as a mistake.
Consider this statement from one of the greatest hockey player of all time : " You miss 100 % of the shot you don't take" - Wayne Gretzky
He have score more goal than many other player, but what very few people talk about is the fact that he also miss more shot than most of the hockey player.
So the point is that he was not affraid to take a shot. He wasn't feeling bad when he take a shot and didn't score. He was instantly focus on the next shot he would take.
Imagine if we could have that kind of attitude with the our mistake in life. If we could start perceiving them as a miss take, we would be able to remove all the guilt, remorse, shame or other emotion attach to it. This would allow ourselve to keep "taking shot". In another word, keep moving foward no matter how much "mistake" we have made in life.
I have personnally make many mistake in my life and there's many of them that I am far from being proud of. One thing is sure, I can not go back in the past and fix them, but what I can do is seeing those mistake as a part of a growing process that lead me where I am today in a place where I can now have a real sustainable impact on this world if I chose to. I think the only real mistake that a person could do is to stop trying because of fear of making a misstake, because when we stop acting because of fear of making mistake, failure is guaranteed.
In order to create a world that is best for all, we can not let the mistake of the past hold us back. Yes we will keep doing mistake in the process, but if we are self-honest about them, they could be a great opportunity to remove layer from the mind and moving towards self-perfection. Therefore, every mistake from now will be welcome.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear making mistake
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that mistake are in fact miss take
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that making mistake is a part of the growing process.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that if I don't take action because of fear of making mistake, I am sure that I will failed, therefore, it worth giving it a try
