Its been more than a month since I wrote my last post. I've had a very tight schedule to say the least. But I thought I'd get a post in before June finishes...which will be in under an hour.
Earlier this week, I had the following as my 'Quote of the Day':
"As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes." - Mel Brooks
I don't know what the intention/meaning behind the quote is by Mel Brooks, if any. But it has a deeper meaning that what appears on the surface (or at least in my opinion).
Nobody is perfect. And a lot of the times we learn and gain experiences through making mistakes, whether its through school, at work, or life in general, mistakes. Sometimes we learn the hard way (e.g. when our backs are against the wall, or when we've failed at something). This is also especially true when we're starting a new chapter in our life or facing a new experience (the most notable example that comes to mind is marriage). This is usually where we feel 'dizzy' (i.e. confused, uncertain, etc.). And more often than thought, we'll end up making mistakes.
Its important to remember though that when you make a mistake, its not the end of the world (or at least in most cases). That mistake must be taken as a learning experience; you need to GROW from it. If you don't learn and grow from it, then you are doomed to repeat it. If you do learn and grow from it. And the world will keep turning spinning despite making the mistake; but now, you'll have gained a new life experience. And yes, you'll still continue to make mistakes. But as long as you continue to learn from your mistakes, the more wisdom you'll get and the more you'll limit your future mistakes.
There is a saying that goes "You've made your bed; now lie in it." I'm not a fan of that. My own thought is that, "Just because you've made your bed doesn't mean you can't change it bfore you lie in it." I truly believe this. No matter how great of a mistake you've made, there is a way to correct it. Yes, correcting it may cause a lot of hardships. But having to make more mistakes after an initial one that could have easily been corrected with some courage would probably cause more hardships in the long run.
So to sum it all up: life goes on. Learn from your mistakes, take them as experiences. Correct what can be corrected, and go on with life. Because the world keeps spinning and won't stop for you. And when it does...well that means your time is up lol.
