Oops...

There is a story of two construction workers who ate lunch together.  Every day one of them would open his lunch box and exclaim in disgust, "Peanut butter and jelly again!" Finally the other inquired, "Why don't you ask your wife to fix something else?" "Oh I'm not married," was the reply. "I make my own lunch."

And that is often how it is with us; we wantsomething new and fresh. We yearn to express our inner genius in ways that will be meaningful, but when it comes to actually making a change, we seem stuck with the familiar. One of the main reasons many of us are not living the life we love is the propensity we have for limiting ourselves.

The second reason is the fear we have of making a mistake. I was thinking about this the other day and wondering why making a mistake is such a big issue for so many of us. It isn't as if we haven't made mistakes in the past. And we are very likely to make mistakes in the future, and yet, we want to stay away from making any, even if it means forward movement. 

 

Somehow our mistakes reinforce the idea that we are not lovable, not worthy, or not good enough. It ties in with our beliefs that we are flawed or that there is something wrong with us. There are very few of us who look at the idea of making a mistake and simply another step on our journey or proof of living life fully. Let's rethink that idea and remember our mistakes do not define us.

  

Dare to dream and soar into your future. Dare to be a better person than you
have ever been. Push past limitations and past the voice within and watch what happens!

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

Whatever the mistakes of yesterday may have been, today is a new creation.  Turning from the errors of the past and no longer carrying with us the sorrows and mistakes of yesterday, today we may enter into a new experience...We should refuse to carry the negations of yesterday into the positive atmosphere of today, for today the world is made new in our experience.
