Mistakes! I’ve Made a Few!

Good morning! As I shared in last Monday’s post, I took some time this past weekend to fully unplug and recharge. It was refreshing! I don’t have a full post today, but wanted to drop in to share a quote that I wrote down during one of the videos on my weekend retreat.

If only we could live two lives: the first in which to make one’s mistakes, and the second in which to profit by them.

D.H. Lawrence

Have you ever wished you could go back and undo your mistakes? While it would be nice to have the opportunity to live life over again with all the knowledge and wisdom we’ve gained in this life, we can’t.

Each of us has have just one life. We can’t undo past mistakes. But we can learn from them and resolve to stop repeating them.

So, as we start a new week and signs of spring renewal are all around us, there’s no better time to forgive yourself for past mistakes.

Take a few minutes right now to reflect on your mistakes. Write down things you want to stop doing, or forgive yourself for, on a piece of paper. You could even burn the pieces of paper, shred them, or bury them. Because it’s never too late to start fresh.

Have a wonderful week!
