The Mistakes You Made Today Won’t Matter Tomorrow
You feel morally bankrupt. You made a bad investment. You lent money to someone who didn’t pay you back or perhaps chose the wrong person to marry.
Now you are paying the price for your mistake. Shame and guilt are visiting you frequently. You are suffering, and your most prominent critic is yourself.
You tell yourself that you should’ve known better. You think condemning yourself would improve the situation, but it only aggravates it.
Life is a video game
When you play video games, you have different levels. Each level comes with obstacles. When you fail at one level, you have an opportunity to try and play it again. You can try and test each time for as long as you want until you unlock the next level and become a winner.
Life is the same. You have different levels you need to win to achieve optimal performance. You play the game of love, the game of money, the game of friendships and honesty.
You are playing games throughout your life, and you will fail millions of times until you get it right.
Life grants you new days to create something different.
The wisdom of knowing what you don’t want
The repelling consequences of your mistakes show up in your life. Luckily, you get knowledge out of errors. So you have the wisdom of knowing what you don’t want to repeat. This idea can be somewhat comforting.
Did you fall in love with the wrong person? Now you know the traits you don’t want in your next partner.
Did you fail at your extremely dieting plan? Now you know you need a more flexible one.
Did you make a bad investment? Now you know you need a better and more detailed investment plan.
Enjoy the wisdom of the no.
Putting boundaries to your suffering
The chains that keep you locked in your past bring you the deepest nightmares. Your mind wanders in profound moments of despair. The awful thoughts are on repeat.
There’s a hidden power in moments of pain. Choosing better thoughts to entertain is the only way to get out of the dark hole.
Recognizing the brilliance of your mind occurs during those dark periods when you realize that you have the power to choose what to believe.
No one cares if you screw up.
You took a few decisions that didn’t get you anywhere, and if they led you somewhere, it was to suffer and cry. But no one outside cares. Your mistakes can seem so big in your mind. But, for the universe’s immensity, you are just a tiny part of it all.
Sometimes it gets so good; sometimes, it gets so bad. But the good passes and also the bad. Enjoy the ride.
