Learning from Life

We all make mistakes. This is what makes us human.  The mistakes we make should not go unrecognized.  We should look at these mistakes as a learning opportunity.  If we are honest with ourselves we can learn a great deal about ourselves.  All to often we are not honest with ourselves and make decisions that do not reflect us as individuals.  We do what other people want.  We sacrifice our core values to satisfy others.  We loose sight of the most important things in our lives.  We loose sight of our core values. I guess this is what makes us human.  However, if we can learn from these mistakes, keep our core values central, we will be less likely to repeat these actions in the near future.  In order to avoid making poor choices, sometimes we need to be selfish.  According to Dr. Seuss, you need to “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”  It is so true – those who mind don’t matter.  They should see your uniqueness and understand this is who you are.  So my advice, “be who you are and do what you do.” Only when you "do what you do, will you be who you are."
