Some people believe relationships come to us as assignments or projects, in this “school” that we call “life on earth”.
These relationships may last for weeks; some even for a lifetime, but they all come to teach us big lessons that are meant to spur our growth as people.
Often, as we look back on these relationships, we realize that they have brought us extraordinary moments which we didn’t see clearly at the time, but only when it was too late. But then again, is it not our greatest mistakes that carry our largest lessons?
And so it is, that if we pay attention, we realize that it is through these lessons that we are sble to become wiser if “we turn our hindsight into foresight that can reveal insight”.
In other words, it is important in life to “let your past serve you”
and not for “you to serve your past”
No human lives life by making NO mistakes at all. We are all designed to make mistakes, for it is those very mistakes that carry us through to higher levels of wisdom, if we choose to learn from them.
In other words, we should not carry on “repeating” that same mistake, but should rather “turn the wound into wisdom”
Too many people spend too much time and energy on blame, for the “mistakes” that they have made. They blame their bosses for not being happy at work, they blame strangers on the road for making them moody, they blame their partners for bad business decisions, they blame their parents for their insecurities……that all lead to making “mistakes”
But, one should always bear in mind, that by blaming others, you take on the role of “playing the victim”.
You are then essentially saying, that you are powerless and unable to lead your own life, without those around you making a change
Your question of thought is probably, “How do we change this mindset?”
The only way to make that change is to take the lead, take responsibility and learn from your mistakes.
Our lives are nothing more than a series of moments – if you miss the moments, you miss your life.
Learn to embrace each moment, learn from each moment by making every moment count. Be aware of taking responsibility of your thoughts and actions and know that every action, no matter how small, plays an important part in the process of your life.
