I have learnt overtime not to dwell on mistakes, I analyze my actions and just strive to be better and not repeat them. Yes, some mistakes definitely hurt more than others and their consequences varies but I don't cloud my thoughts with regret, I am more of a "what next, what is the way forward" type of person. I see mistakes as a necessary path in life.

Being misdiagnosed few years back with a terminal illness played a big role in me having few regrets now. I mentally prepared for my death, got depressed, almost gave up on life, started acting out, only to be told later on that it was a misdiagnosis. I still search for the answers to why i was developing severe symptoms in correspondence to the ailment but after i was told of the misdiagnosis, they magically disappeared.

After that ordeal, I had to reprogram my self, infact, i am still reprogramming. I see life as fleeting and I just try to enjoy every present moment. You never know.

Your perspective on handling mistakes is truly inspiring. It's incredible how you managed to turn such a traumatic event into a source of strength and growth. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to go through that misdiagnosis and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. Your ability to focus on the present and move forward with a positive outlook is admirable. Life is indeed fleeting, and your story is a powerful reminder to cherish each moment and not let regrets cloud our journey. Thank you for your heartfelt words and for sharing such a personal part of your life.

Mistakes are purely human and also unavoidable in life,

no matter how disciplined, smart or determined one could be.

Also, no matter how weak or immature one could be, it's not always from one's desire, ability or strength.

In as much as we are alive, making efforts to live

Growth will come in different phases, exposing us.

One must come to terms that we are not totally in control of our lives no matter how hard we try.

I once avoided a situation for years through discipline and determination

only for the situation to come right at me making me helpless, used to be incredibly disciplined

but for that moment and situation, I became a fool, I blamed myself because the mistakes were so simple

even the most foolish of people won't make it. How did this happen? After all my efforts.

Blamed myself, and everyone I could but didn't give me the answers I wanted.

Months later, I realized the situation was purely inevitable, unfortunately, the mistake was beneficial to me.

I wasn't as smart, determined or disciplined as I thought

I learned so much through the unfortunate event and became much more aware.

Important to know that we don't have all the authority we may think we have, life forces us to do a lot.

Then we take all the blame, That's injustice.

We are flawed, we make mistakes too but must know we are helpless and that life is greatly manipulative.

So in a situation like this one learns as much as possible from the whole thing.

Time will surely heal. The pain and regrets are all growth development,

A sincere heart will always pull through. Take care 💛

“If mistakes weren’t meant to be made, the vocabulary wouldn’t exist” that’s such a profound statement. You seem to have it all figured out, forgiving yourself for whatever mistake will make the rest of the journey easier. We all make mistakes, how we move on after said mistakes is what determines who we are. Keep your head high ❤️.
