mistakes: the price of being human

every man makes mistakes, and so will you. in fact, Winston Churchill once observed, "Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." what was good for Churchill is also good for you. you should expect to make mistakes-plenty of mistakes-but you should now allow those missteps to rob you of the enthusiasm you need to fulfill God's plan for you life.

we are imperfect people living in a imperfect world; mistakes are simply part of the price we pay for being here. but, even though mistakes are an inevitable part of life's journey, repeated mistakes should not be. when we commit the inevitable blunders of life, we must correct them, learn from them, and pray for the wisdom not to repeat them. when we do, our mistakes become lessons, and our lives become adventures in growth, not stagnation.

when our shortcomings are made public, we may feel embarrassed or worse. we may presume (quite incorrectly) that "everybody" is concerned with the gravity of our problem. and as a consequence, we may feel the need to hide from our problems rather than confront them. to do so is wrong. even when our pride is bruised, we must face up to our mistakes and seek to rise above them.

have you made a king-sized blunder or two? of course you have. but here's the big question: have you used your mistakes as stumbling blocks or stepping stones? the answer to this question will determine how well you perform in the workplace and in every other aspect of your life. so don't let the fear of past failures hold you back. and remember this: even if you've make a colossal mistake, God isn't finished with you yet-in fact, HE'S probably just getting started. have a nice day all of you !!!!

"Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change; and when we are right, make us easy to live with." by Peter Marshall
