We are human and make mistakes. The main point is to learn and grow from those mistakes. We probably make the most mistakes when we are younger and more unsure of ourselves. That is fine. That is what life is all about. What is wrong is not learning from those mistakes and growing to be a mature and responsible adult. Unfortunately, we can't change others unless they want to change. There are those that don't get what life is all about and some will never get it. It is up to us to not let those people get to us and we do not end up acting like they do. We need to rise above the pettiness and look deeper than the surface that that person is showing. Usually, there is some reason behind what their behavior. If you look deeper, there is usually hurt, pain and despair lurking there. Look even deeper, and you can see there is kindness and caring somewhere deep inside. That's the person you want to try to reach. But some put up such a barricade, it is almost impossible to get past it and unless they want to let their guard down, it is very hard to get any closer. All you can do then, is to wait in the wings. Be the stronger person and be there waiting for them when they wish to let you into their lives. If necessary, forgive them if they are the ones that a mistake, even if they are not willing to admit their mistake or say they are sorry. Holding on to hate and negativity is very harmful and does not make for a very good life. I have been hurt by people many times over the years and have had some pretty traumatic events in my life that could make me a very negative person and not want to get close to others. But I realized at a very young age that hate and anger only serve to make your life miserable. Sometimes it is hard to let it go, but life is so much better without it. While there were times that I probably could have made better choices in my life and I have made mistakes, I have learned from these mistakes and they have made me a better person. If you have something you regret, find a way to change it. If you do whatever you can do fix your mistakes, then you no longer need to carry regret. If the mistake is not fixable because another won't let it be fixed, then at least you know you did whatever you could to fix it and that is all that you can do. As long as you tried to fix your mistakes, you do not need to carry regret around with you. I've done whatever I could to either fix past mistakes or I learned from my mistakes so that I do not repeat them. And since we are human, we will always make mistakes, no matter how old we are. The important thing is to acknowledge you made a mistake and do whatever you can to correct it. I have always tried to live by this. Makes living a lot more pleasant and I know that I can go to meet my maker without having to carry regrets with me.Amber Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361752781453625865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793774486374938694.post-75345117047427338862011-08-11T20:32:30.496-07:002011-08-11T20:32:30.496-07:00Oh and p.s.

I tried to fix the ones I do have but alas have not been able to do so, I have however fixed others. People grow, people change, light is shed on areas that may have been dark, and we all make mistakes. Try to fix any regrets you have to the best of your ability so at least you can say that you tried. You may have been wrong, they may not accept it. But at least you did what you could.paulie82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07693245048466952855noreply@blogger.com
