Mistakes are natural phenomena that virtually occur to each and everyone of us with or without our consent. One may be pushed to differentiate between an error and mistake. However, I think your dictionary is the best consultant in this plight. It is obvious that to some extent, one's life revolves round mistakes. Mistakes are invitational letters that try to posit a clear cut distinction between us and God. Does God actually make mistakes? HOW ABOUT AFTER THE CREATION OF MAN,AND HE LATER SAID, HE REGRETTED CREATING MAN? Could that be a mistake? Whichever way we view it, our God is infallible; He had a pre-plan for man and that He alone will not be in heaven but also in our company(John 3:16).
It would be worthy to note that God does not use a man that He hasn't passed through the polytechnic of mistakes! Mistakes tend to be the raw materials for heroes. Space will fail me to go down the memory lane to trace the incidents that transpired among David,Abraham,Peter,Paul etc,yet it was a catalyst to their arrival to the top. Thomas Edison, prior to his invention of light bulb,tried a thousand times, but they all proved abortive,but he realized that he has just found a thousand way that a light bulb cannot be made. The way to avoid mistakes is by experience the way to get experience is by mistakes. Never allow your past to weigh you down, but transform and refine you again. Never feel bad because you messed up with something in your past. All Great People Did. The problem has never been making mistakes rather staying in mistakes. The similarity between successful men and failures is that both makes mistakes but the significant difference between them is that the successful man never repeated the same mistakes again while the failure kept swimming in the ocean of the same old mistakes. From now henceforth decide never to repeat your mistakes and learn to forget the past, forgive yourself and forge ahead with the future and see yourself at the top!
