Quote

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all-in which case, you fail by default."
-J.K.Rowling

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they are right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall into place."
-Marilyn Monroe

Mistakes


You’re at your friend’s to see her freshly made science model. It’s on the table. You pick it up for closer examination and its slips out of your grasp, on to the floor. Mistake.
The noise pulls your friend to the spot. She looks down and then at you. You are told to go away. Intention.
My mistake is a mistake, yours intention?  
A mistake is a mistake, neither yours nor mine.
But a mistake happens and is made once. If done again then it seizes to be a mistake.
Take the lesson from a mistake. You’ve made it. It’s done. Regret isn’t making it any better. Take the lesson and move ahead.
Stay with the pinch of it. Not the regret.
Life is lived and loved today, right now. Live it. Love it. Yesterday is not making a difference and you can’t make a difference to the future. The present is a gift from god. That is why it’s the "present". Appreciate it. Be grateful. Smile. Live elated.
