Mistakes

"When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
Hugh White

When you make a mistake do you analyze what you possibly could have done wrong and why you may have done it? Do you ponder over all the possibilities of why it could have happened? Do you study it? The mistake you're making is to look back at it, and focus on it. You are essentially focusing on all the bad things that could happen, so that, according to the Law of Attraction, that's what you'll have more of.

When you make a mistake, what you need to do is quickly learn the lesson from it, forgive yourself, and then forget about it. Quickly identify what didn't work (and why, if that's clear) but avoid ruminating on it for a long time. All you really need to learn is how to avoid making the same mistake next time. Don't run around being upset that you did something. That's a waste of time and energy because the past is over with. Nobody can change the past, no matter how much they'd like to.

You need to forgive yourself. Mistakes aren't the end of the world.We all make mistakes, as long as we are living and growing, and are out there taking action. We're supposed to make mistakes, that's how we learn. That's how we attain wisdom.

The future is yet in your power. Learn the lessons from your mistakes and use them wisely. Then just let your mistakes go. There is no more reason to think about them, or to beat yourself up over them.
