Musing….
I was just reading a couple of quotes today about success and failure. I’ve always recognised my mistakes and accepted them. I never try to avoid or discard them. It never works because some part of you is bound to feel it and trust me, these things are like nagging wives and moms. They won’t let you off till you’ve done something about them. I’ve made a lot of errors in decision and judgement. I learnt the hard way. But, it never stays on my mind for too long since I see to it that I’ve done everything possibe to make up for it or change myself or whatever.
A while ago I’d thought that I’d made the hugest mistake by letting go of some people who were really close to my heart. But that’s what I felt at that time. It never struck me that this was probably one of those few things that life was out to teach me, had kept in store for me. Things don’t last forever. They won’t unless you do something about it. And if it still doesn’t last, then don’t make it your fault. Atleast you gave it your best shot. Just brush it aside and walk on. Something is bound to come your way. Something that was waiting for you to arrive. Its just a matter of time. I, for example, have found soulmates in three people I thankfully came across. And some part of me knows that they will be immortal to me.
A few times, we tend to think back at all that has happened and ask ourselves if anything could have been done to change the past. My opinion is that one should not sit around trying to undo what has been done. Its quite impossible to do so. Things change for the good and bad. We must try to hold on to the good of it. Never give up on your hopes and dreams and don’t assume that such things come only once in a lifetime. Its upto us to make them keep coming. Hope. Courage. Determination.
At some point, you have to do things alone and that is when you know that you most certainly have the strength to endure future hindrances. So why don’t all of you quitters just give a break to yoursleves. Sometimes its not just your fault, it could be someone else’s. Everyone makes mistakes. The more we try to avoid them, the more likely they are going to pay you a visit. It’s just a matter of accepting them and moving on. Simple as that.
“Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.” - Confucius
“While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.” - Henry C. Link
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” - Scott Adams
“Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.” - William Dement
“Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
