How to Find Peace When Life Throws You Curveballs

A short guide to moving on from mistakes and setbacks

The Mistake

I woke up this morning still feeling a bit upset.

Yesterday, someone broke into… no, actually they didn’t break anything. Someone came into my car and took some money from my purse and also some change that was in the cup holder because a window was open.

It was my fault.

I opened the passenger side window to chat with a friend on the way home, but I forget to roll it up. When I got home and parked the car, I left the window down.

It was my mistake and so I know I have to let it go, but it still hurt.

Sometimes, even when we know we need to let go, it’s still hard to find peace. So, how do we accept what has happened, let go of things that are not within our control, learn from our mistakes, and find peace? It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Here are some tips that I have learned along the way:

1. Take Responsibility for Your Mistakes

It’s not always easy to admit when you are wrong, but it’s an important step in the process of learning from our mistakes.

When you take responsibility for your actions, you can learn from them and make changes to prevent them from happening again in the future.

In my case, I made a mistake by leaving a window open. I also left money out in the open and my purse was laying on the passenger seat with money inside. I had to accept responsibility for my actions.

When I was struggling to accept responsibility, this is what came to me.

What happens when you leave a window open in your home? Mosquitoes and other flying insects will come in and bite you. But you can’t be mad at the mosquito. No! A mosquito will do what mosquitoes do. They fly and they suck blood. I left the window open, and the thief came in. I couldn’t really be mad at the thief. My purse was right in front of their eyes as they probably walked by. Money was also probably sticking out of my purse. Anybody who lacks self-control would be tempted to take it.

I left the window down, and the thief did what thieves do.

If there was anybody to be mad at, it was me but being mad at myself is not what someone who loves themselves would do. I couldn’t be mad at myself. I love myself way too much.

I made a mistake, and I made the decision to forgive myself and learn from the experience instead of beating myself up.

When you take responsibility for your actions, you can learn from them and make changes to prevent them from happening again in the future.

2. Focus on What You Can Control

There are many things in life that are outside of our control. We can’t control the weather, other people’s actions, or the outcome of every situation. What we can control is how we react to those situations.

In my case, I couldn’t control the fact that someone came into my car and stole from me, but I could control how I responded to the situation. I chose to focus on the fact that it could have been much worse.

Really.

I had just gone to the bank and withdrew a huge sum of money. I almost put it in my purse on the passenger seat, but as I was going to do that, something told me to put it in the center console between the driver and passenger seat.

Luckily for me, the thief did not go in there.

I don’t know what I would have done if they took that much money and so for that I was very grateful. I was a bit sad, yes but I was extremely grateful.

It could have been much worse.

We can’t control the weather, other people’s actions, or the outcome of every situation. What we can control is how we react to those situations.

3. Learn From Your Mistakes

Mistakes are a natural part of life, and we all make them. What’s important is that we learn from them and use them as an opportunity for growth.

I learned that I need to be more careful In general.

I need to slow down and pay attention to my surroundings. If I had slowed down before probably hopping out of the car, I would have noticed the window down. I wouldn't have left my purse in the car and money lying around if I was paying attention.

Also, instead of parking my car in the house, I left it on the street thinking I wouldn’t be long. Those were my mistakes. I had to accept responsibility for my mistake and move on. It was a tough lesson to learn, but it was one that I needed to learn.

Now it’s time to leave it in the past and find peace and the courage to let it go.

Mistakes are a natural part of life, and we all make them. What’s important is that we learn from them and use them as an opportunity for growth.

Finding Peace

Letting go of things that are not within our control can be challenging, but it’s essential for our mental health and well-being. If I do not let it go, I will keep thinking about what I did wrong and beat myself up for making those silly mistakes.

It’s important to find peace.

Finding peace means accepting what has happened and moving forward.

I’m finding peace by focusing on the positive aspects of the situation, like the fact that the thief didn’t take the money I put inside the center console. That would have been very, very bad because it was a lot of money. The fact that I was going to put it in my purse and something told me to put it away instead gives me so much peace.

I found peace by focusing on the positives.

Life is full of ups and downs, and we will all face challenges along the way. It’s how we respond to those challenges that define us. By taking responsibility for our mistakes, focusing on what we can control, learning from our mistakes, and finding peace by focusing on the positives, we can navigate even the toughest situations with grace and resilience.

None of it’s not easy, but it’s possible.
