Mistakes

Mistakes



Mistakes are not mistakes unless they are repeated. The 1st time a mistake is done it is out of innocence. The 2nd time it is a mistake. Our parents used to warn us as kids not to do certain things that are harmful. And they are right for it’s to warn us against that 1st mistake that might scar us.

As our consciousness grows, expands and evolves we are aware of more and more mistakes to avoid. Upon identifying them we simply make sure we don’t repeat them for they hurt us and others too.
Making a mistake is hurting ourselves primarily and others directly or indirectly. I mean myself no harm. In not harming myself, I love myself and give all the nourishment needed for kindness and caring.

When I am nourished and healed and being able to see mistakes for what they are – opportunities to transcend and improve myself, I share what I have with others and share freely, generously and joyously. It is a selfless and egoless deed. Through self-realization and meditation one can let go of all borders and barriers to share universal loving-kindness to all.

Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes in the present moment. For we have within ourselves all the intelligence need to warn us against harming ourselves and others.

Awareness is turning mistakes into opportunities for goodness to all.
