Making Mistakes

11 October 2012, 10:25

Making mistakes in life are our lessons in disguise which are meant to WISEN, ENLIGHTEN, and OPEN THE MIND. Each time you are humbled you learn so much more, and every single lesson helps your soul to grow that little bit more. Look not at the days gone by with a forlorn heart.

They were simply the dots you can now connect with our present, to help us draw the outline of a beautiful tomorrow. Your... perspective is limited. It only includes your past and present. But I see beyond that. I don't dwell on your past. I dwell on your future. Because I know your future is more important than your past. I'm not focused on your history. I'm focused on your destiny. Just remember that you can't do it ALONE, and you don't have to, because I am here with you

Love will lead you to the person that is meant for you. Wait for the time to come. Do not rush on to it. The best love is the one that makes you a better person without changing you into someone other than yourself. There are other's when sometimes they are only given a few minutes to spend with the one they love, and a thousand hours to spend thinking of them. It's not about how much love you hav...e in the beginning, but how much love you build till the end. Just say this to yourself "I desire nothing more than to be in your heart until forever dies". And the two most important things to do if you really love someone, you will never lie to them. If you do so, then your love isn't even stronger than your lies. When you say "I love you" you are making a PROMISE with someone else's heart. Try to honour it

There's no point in consistently worrying about everything. What will happen will happen anyway. So breathe, look on the bright side, have some laughs, fall in love, accept what you can't change, and carry on. To actually live is courageous. Most people do exist, that is not all. Some are shy. Some are outgoing. Some follow the rules. Some make their own rules. Some are white. Some are black. Some... are short. Some are tall. Some are fat. Some are skinny. Whatever you are, don't change that. You are you. Labels don't mean a thing. Your beautiful in your own way. Your awesome just as you are. Here's a piece of advice. Let go when you're hurting too much, give up when love isn't enough, and move on when things aren't like before. Surely, there's someone out there who will love you more..

Stop caring what other people think. How? Understand that this is your life, not theirs, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself if things don't work out the way you'd hoped, their opinion shouldn't matter more than your own. Never let people get to you. The way I see it, they can't pull the trigger if you don't hand them the gun. Things will happen in your life that you can't stop, but that'...s no reason to shut out the world. Try and expect nothing, but be open for anything.

Maybe it's not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it's about starting over and creating something better. Sometimes, we're not looking for someone who has everything. But someone who has TIME to spend with us more than anything, and more than anyone else. Don't look for happiness, but don't settle for anything less. There's a purpose for the good and for the bad. Life never stops moving forward. Stay focused and never slow down with regrets. Smile, forgive, forget, and keep moving on.
