Blessed are those who don't see a mistake as a mistake....!!!
But it is
hard not to see your own mistake. Outwardly you may justify yourself or prove your innocence to someone else, but a mistake
pricks a conscience. Do not justify yourself. Instead, feel the prick of the mistake. That very pinch will take you out of
the mistake.
A mistake means something that brings misery to you in the long run. So why would someone knowingly commit
a mistake?
While pointing out a mistake to someone, do you consider him as separate from you and go on pointing out
his error or do you make him feel a part of you? When you point out a mistake to someone, does it make him more stressed,
or does it create more awareness in that person? Often you do not point out someone's mistake when it is required. Not pointing
out a mistake -- with due consideration to time and place -- is also a mistake.
When you make a new mistake, it is
not a mistake; you have learned a valuable lesson. But when you keep doing the same mistake over and over, it is a BIG mistake.
A mistake simply means you have missed taking a lesson that has come your way.
Do not lament over your mistake. Just
take the lesson from it. You will not be judged by your mistakes, but by your virtues. Mistakes are of the earth. Virtues
are of the Divine.
Wise is the one who learns from others mistakes.
Less wise is the one who learns from his
own mistakes.
The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them.
