Do you think mistakes are only to make your life miserable? Mistakes are not always bad, they make us be stronger in the future and let better things occur in our lives. I always thought that by doing something bad, it will make us regret our lives and our past; that it will make us be ashamed of ourselves but I now realize that it shouldn’t be that way. Mistakes are like levels in a game, you may be able to pass them without getting harmed and they will teach you something new so next time it comes again, you won’t do the same thing. I believe that if you make a mistake, take the positive and learn. It gives you the opinion to actually learn something new about a situation and move on in a positive way. When you make a mistake, it sort of opens the metaphorical door to learning something new about yourself. Learn from your mistakes. We can often learn more from a mistake than from success, unlikely as it sounds. For example, if you play with fire, but don’t get burnt, you might do it again, but if you do it wrong and seriously hurt yourself, you will most likely know fire equals bad. Everyone has made a mistake in their lives. At least just one, I mean if someone has never made a mistake, well that obviously means he/she doesn’t know anything. Why? Because mistakes are mostly the things that teach us in life. If we were perfect, nothing would really intrigue us. I feel that bad experiences give us more strength and make us better equipped to deal with life. I talked to a guy the past few months that treated me badly and didn’t show he cared as much, and I think I've learned so much more from this than I have in the past. I learned to never let anyone hurt me and step on me, I learned to not show my emotions so much in future relationships, I learned about the kind of person I want in the future and the kind of person I don't want, I learned not to be so needy and to depend on myself for my happiness. Even though it was really painful when he stopped talking to me and I had many weeks of painful emotions, I definitely feel like I came out in the end a much stronger person. In the long run he did me a favor. Another misstep I did that really taught me something was to lie to my parents. When we usually just turn teenagers, our mind starts changing, and we most likely take different paths than where we were. I started to lie more and more until my parents would find out everything I lied about; I got mostly everything taken away for a long time and that taught me to be truthful and honest to both of my parents so I won’t be able to suffer and have nothing in my life. Sometimes we don’t realize we’re doing something bad until we get hurt and that’s usually how we learn. I know that it is pretty tough to accept mistakes made by us but it’s easy if we can see our mistakes from a different angle all together. We, humans usually think the negative thoughts about our mistakes, but we need to understand and accept that the mistakes we do will bring huge changes and make our lives distinct in some sort of way, depending on the mistake. I now realize why mistakes are also helpful and not only hurtful.
