Mistakes

All through our lives we make mistakes, this is really just education working for us. Mistakes are a part of living, animals make mistakes and people do as well.

Especially study the characters of the people in the debate, in your family, in your friendship groups, see who they really are when they don’t think that they are being observed.

 But people use mistakes to learn from in a much more detailed way. An animal can repeat mistakes over and over again, and some people can as well because they have not yet learned the educational value that mistakes teach them. We humans have the ability to log our mistakes in our memory to help us not repeat mistakes. Our ability to do this is much greater than what is available to animals.

Through our lives we are often taught that education can only come from a classroom at school, but this is not true. Life is an educational system on its own and many of the events we go through are teachings that we can learn from. In today’s society often when a person makes a mistake they are scorned for it or even laughed at after the unfortunate incident. This teaches us to regret mistakes and loath them when they appear. We feel very bad when we repeat mistakes and the teachings of other people lead us to believe that we have to be perfect and not make mistakes. But of course we know that everybody makes mistakes whether they like doing so or not.

When you goof up it is a lesson to learn from. If you do not learn the lesson then you more than likely will repeat the mistake, maybe even often. These repeats confirm to your brain that you are a failure and useless. This is also not true, but it looks that way to the person making the mistake. Sometimes people get frustrated with us when we make a mistake and abuse us for our failure, this is a mistake on their behalf. By having faith in ourself and God we can get over our mistakes and know them for what they are and then move on knowing that the mistake was just a mere lesson that life has taught us while we try to develop into a more mature person.

All people of all ages make mistakes, because we are all learning until the day we leave this world. This is the main reason why we need to view mistakes as educational tools and not a stressful intervention into our lives.

Change Your Thrills.

We people tend to have a few bad habits that are sometimes not respectfully or morally good. We get a big boost when we do these things and a feeling that could be called good, but obviously in many other ways is not good. You need to look deeply into your heart to know what is good and what is bad. Please try to be honest with yourself as this is the only way that you can learn to be a better person. Being honest with yourself will help you find the truth about yourself.

We can change these feelings from bad to good by readjusting our thoughts. If you have a habit that currently thrills you but you know that it is not a good thing to do then try to concentrate on those things that you know are good. By doing this you can exchange the thrilling feeling from one thing to another thing. This may not be easy at the start, but as time goes by and you tell yourself that the change is for the better for you then you will eventually win.

If you are a Mother or Father who has some bad habits that you get a thrill from you can learn to exchange those thrills towards your children’s lives. With lots of happy, loving, encouragement towards your children you can build up a deep love for all the activities that involve them. You can take them on camping trips or ride horses or motorbikes with them. Take them for a hike, ride with them on bicycles. Get the idea? You are transferring the past thrills for new more encouraging thrills and you are involving other people who will in turn bounce their appreciation of your love back to you.

If you are single consider changing your lifestyle in ways that will excite you and cause you to feel triumph. Do things that you have never done before. Let the world know that you are valuable and worth being with. You may have to change your friends but that’s alright because your gain will easily outweigh that small sacrifice.

Lets fill our lives with joy and fun. Being popular is fun so lets try to do that in a happy, honest, popular way. Look for ways that you can boost your life with the joy of living. Your present financial state does limit your fun to a degree, but it does not stop you having good old fashioned honest fun or a happy life.
