Mistakes we knew we were making

Mistakes are made, it's how we progress from there that helps shape who we are.

You make a mistake. It's been made and the reality is, you can't change it, but now, now you have a choice to make. You can hold on to that mistake and think yourself crazy about how things could have or would have been OR you can take that mistake, try to learn from it as much as you can, and move forward.

Holding onto mistakes won't change what happen. Thinking about what went wrong and how it went wrong and how things would be different if you were just able to change it, then fantasizing about what would have been, is literally just hurting yourself. You are choosing to let it get to you. Feel reflect and figure out how to proceed next time, that's good. But agonizing over what could have been will get you nowhere; it's time for you to look towards forward progress.

It's not so much about the mistake you made in the past, it's about the new beginning you were given. While you may not have gotten your desired outcome the first time, you have today to start again. You have a new day and new opportunities, opportunities that shouldn't be wasted because you are too busy regretting a mistake you made in the past.

Life is short, your time is now. Be brave, be daring, be bold - don't let your past mistakes hold you back from living life. Stop going over your mistakes; as cliche as it sounds you have to stop reading the last chapter in your life and start writing the one you are currently in. Keep on going, life has much more in store for you.

You have to take chances that are meaningful to you, because whatever those mistakes are, they will be worth it. Life is happening right now, and you have a chance to get it right, you just have to stop thinking about the past mistakes and take your chance now. Every moment is a new opportunity for you to make things happen, realize that and take a chance. Your time is now.
