We humans are not perfect; we make mistakes and we learn from that.
If throughout our lives we make no mistakes, wouldn't it place us on the same par with God? I say this because most religions portray its respective god or gods as perfect beings without mistakes and faults.
Life is beautiful and equally cruel if you choose to walk the wrong path. Do you self reflect every day to acknowledge your strengths and flaws?
Time bear many changes and it makes no exceptions for us humans. The point is, are the changes for the better or the worse? You are obviously not the same person you were 5 years ago. Did you observe how far you have come and does the outcome satisfy you?
Besides self reflecting, do you pay attention to the people who have walk in and out of your life? By now, you would have met interesting characters. Some make your day better while some bring you down. Some are trustworthy while some are backstabbers. Over time, did you learn how to face the people you met? Compare the number of friends you have with your enemies to know the answer.
I personally think the worst mistake in life is to die with regrets. Life should be an adventurous odyssey and not a boring repetitive pattern. Life should be live on the road less taken. And the best thing in life is not to avoid making mistakes but to gather your guts to overcome them.
Are there any mistakes you regret making? You can't undo them but take each as a lesson learned.
Appreciate what you have. Do not make a silly decision that could make you loose everything. Every time you have a bad day, do not compare yourself to others. We are all blessed in our lives but we often fail to realise that until it's too late.
Achieve the balance in life by doing the right thing. Be proud and yet humble. Be outspoken and yet open minded. Love and believe, have faith and hope; they will keep you company during those difficult moments. You may complain when the goings get tough but never ever give up.
If you're faced with a big obstacle, do not get frustrated. I mean really, what is a life without problems? Isn't it boring if things are easy all the time? Take these obstacles as challenges. Don't let them weaken you, turn things around instead!
The most successful people didn't come on top easily. They are the those who managed to seize control of their life and make a better change. In difficult times while others quit, they work harder and become stronger. They see possibilities instead of dead ends.
Be the best person you could be. Being yourself is like buying shoes; you could buy many pairs but only one will fit you perfectly.
Realise your strength now. You may be only human, but you are still capable of greatness. Live well.
