No regrets, Just lessons Learnt

 

"Nothing compares no worries or cares , regrets and mistakes they are memories made" - Adele

   We all listened to the song "Someone like you" by Adele and and almost all of us know the lyrics, but the part where she said "regrets and mistakes they are memories made" really got me thinking of how far I and i'm sure you all also have come in this journey called life, with all the experiences we have had, we all have stories of great times, bad times, good memories and of course mistakes and regrets. I always hungered for mistakes in a way, I can be very cautious but when that sense of adventure activates in my head I find myself actually hunting for clarity and experience by exploring this life with my mind open to mistakes.

   I say don't run from mistakes,instead try to make as many as possible early on in life so you learn your lessons, they will all be part of those silly fun memories you would laugh at a couple of years later because in my view, life really shouldn't be taken as serious as we take it. As they say experience is the best teacher and as we know, it is impossible for you to get everything right on the first try so it is okay to make mistakes once in a while. Mistakes make us human and they play a major roll in developing us all round. Embrace your mistakes when you make them and do not waste too much time  wallowing in regret when things go south.
      When you can, or when the opportunity presents itself I would advice that you learn from other peoples mistakes, especially if you are like me and you tend to be very cautious for reasons best know to you, it will still help you a whole lot by allowing you dodge some of the bad experiences you might encounter while still teaching you a lot. Everything in life is all about balance so you don't want to relax so much and allow the mistakes take over you.
     Many a time we spend so much time and energy thinking about what would have been, we seem to forget that the grass isn't always greener on the other side, that situation you wish you were in at that point might not be as favorable as you see it from where you stand. You see I also believe that these errors are the things that construct us into who we are today, if they didn't occur at a certain point in our life we wouldn't be the people we are today.
     Like let's use our universities for example, you school in the east and you keep hearing about the great schools they have in the north and in the south, thoughts go through your mind how you would have gotten a better education if you were in any of those schools, but if you didn't make that so called "mistake" you wouldn't have met the people you know today, so imagine not having them in your life right now, you wouldn't be who you are today because every single person that you have encountered has played a role in shaping you into who you are whether they were good or bad people. It is the same concept with mistakes, every situation you have faced has made you into the person you are today and all the bad decisions you've made has thought you a whole lot more than you might realize, so instead of regretting what you should have done, just accept life. At times we just have to learn how to accept things for what they are and not dwell on the bad sides, if you make a mistake just try again and add it to your list of experiences, people who learn how to fail and pick themselves up are often times the most successful.
   Live life to the fullest and don't wallow in regret of mistakes made, instead pick yourself up and keep trying till you reach your goal.
