“Where would I be today if those mistakes never happened?”
As we explore the vast minefields of our hearts and clear the fallout from a mistake, facing our consequences head on we always say to ourselves, I wish I didn’t do that, I wish I wish I wish. But as cliché as it sounds I am a firm believer in the ‘everything happens for a reason’ theory, because even though everything you do has a consequence, that consequence has a consequence; an equal or opposite reaction that leaves its own mark. As tough as it is to face the impact of a mistake, the reality is we have to face it and we really aren’t to judge if what we have done is a mistake or not because it’s not our plan. We honestly don’t ever know if our actions are positive or negative until the water has had time to settle, and we can clearly see our reflection on its surface. And even when we don’t do something stupid or make a mistake we ask ourselves what if… What if I hadn’t kissed him? What if I had? And mistake or no mistake we are forced to ask ourselves, what if? And who is to say who or what we would be if not for our moments of weakness or strength we get hurt rejected or burned and maybe we needed that, maybe that experience is priceless and maybe we learn. *
