Why is it so hard for people to admit they make mistakes? Just forming the words, “I was wrong,” is a stretch.
The reason mistakes are called mistakes is because they not intentional. A mistake is usually committed in error of action, calculation, or judgment because of insufficient knowledge without knowing the outcome.
If you knew the outcome of the mistake, would you still have made it? Probably because you have to make mistakes in order to grow sufficiently. If no one made mistakes, then no one would grow.
If no one grew then they would be stuck in the same predicament and wouldn’t be able to shake off the mortal coil.
Making mistakes is part of our experience here on earth. Giving people room to make mistakes is giving yourself room to make mistakes.
If you judge people because they make too many mistakes, then you are not focusing on learning from their mistakes. While it is true that we learn from our own mistakes, we also learn from the mistakes of others.
If you learn from mistakes then you know that mistakes are your best teachers.
Accepting that people make mistakes and will always make mistakes helps you to forgive and move on to higher regions in your heart and soul and that’s a place you can always dwell.
