You Are NOT Your Mistakes
Dee Powell here live on this beautiful Thursday night. I wanted to talk to you tonight about some personal self development. My main topic is that you are not your mistakes. Our daily wake up call gave me this idea. It’s important that we put our mistakes into the proper perspective.
You are not your mistakes. The mistakes that you’ve made in your life are in the past. They do not define you and who you are, they are mistakes. EVERYBODY makes mistakes in life. That’s part of life, part of growing, part of learning, it’s how we learn to navigate through life. Sure it’s part of becoming the person you are today, mistakes are lessons. Yet, you are not your mistakes. You are a perfect human being, perfect right now for where you are in life.
The things that have happened to you in this lifetime, the mistakes that you’ve made have actually made you a better person. Because you’ve learned and moved on from your mistakes. You’re not suppose to walk around and act like you are the mistake, correct the mistakes and move on with life. I could tell you I’ve made a million mistakes, but they are just that, mistakes. We get a free do-over pass. See how that works? Repetitiveness of the same mistake needs a bit more analyzing of the mistake and what keeps leading to it. Changing something in the process can revert the mistake into being a great decision, or choice that will then feed your confidence. You are not your mistakes, but it is your responsibility to be accountable for them, and to correct them.
Making mistakes doesn’t mean you’re the mistake, it doesn’t mean you’re not capable, or that you’re not enough. They are just a marking point to an area you could do better in. Once you acknowledge your mistakes as opportunity to be better, you’ll choose better. Past mistakes can hold you up in the present. So I want to encourage you to let go of your past mistakes and find out what your purpose is and go on.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, leave me a comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts.
