Don’t run from your mistakes. You aren’t the only one that makes mistakes. Mistakes are an opportunity to learn and grow. Talking about your mistakes liberates others to face, talk about and move on from their own mistakes. We’d all learn at a compounded rate if we all helped one another avoid the mistakes we’d made ourselves. Experience is a great teacher. Yet often, religious people call experience SIN.

A good life comes from making good decisions. Good decisions come from experience and experience comes from making bad decisions. The more bad decisions I make, if I learn from them, the more experience I will have and will, in fact, make many good decisions that create a beautiful life for myself and if I’m a giver will make a beautiful life for others too.

That was a mouthful.

Anyway, if making mistakes is an opportunity to share, learn and grow, I have many opportunities.

The sad part is that most people hide their mistakes while pointing yours out to make them feel better about themselves.

If you are in the mistake prone group with me and your mistakes are known, let it go. The Bible says that we should confess our faults to one another and pray for one another. It also says we shouldn’t judge each other or we will be judged.

I’m getting lots of experience. After the last decade, I should have a doctorate in what not to do.
But I’m still moving forward and I’m not quitting no matter the fool I appear to be.

A fool with a plan is better than a wise man without a plan.

Hide and watch. God, at the appointed time, will promote me because of my faith in Jesus. Rest assured, He will promote you too if you don’t quit.

Bless the name of the Lord.
