Go to the Mattresses

I was thinking today about mistakes. We all make mistakes, yet they are very painful sometimes to make. Today I had the daily experience of making mistakes. When I make a mistake I have a hard time remembering that we all make mistakes and that we all must learn from our mistakes. I repeated in my head this little saying "Its okay to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them." Now I am not advocating making bad choices, but sometimes we all do things that we don't think about fully before hand. I am starting a new year and I already have some things to remember, many things to remember so that I don't make the same mistakes again. Learn from the past and move forward, look at challenges as a way to grow and become better, look them in the eyes and don't back down. I guess the message is that we can always change, try again and try to do better without getting discouraged. Without letting ourselves get down. If we can't do it right the first time, try, try again. Go into battle but don't think of it as a battle, think of it as a awesome adventure to become the best person, and in my case, teacher, that you can be!
