Making Mistakes

Get over it. Perfection just isn't an option. Making mistakes is part of life. Growing up, I didn't want to believe it so I fought hard to be perfect. Within the last few years, I've made the decision to surrender. I am not perfect. There -- I said it. I make mistakes. I remember thinking, "Whew! The pressure's off me now that my secret's out." But, the reality is that each and every one of us screws up at some point. No one is error free. We all trip and fall down. The upside question is, "Do you get back up again with ease?"
"You're going to make mistakes in life. It's what you do after the mistakes that counts."
