While having a walk with one of my friends last evening I started pondering over the question are there really any mistakes in life?.Now what provoked me to come to such a conclusion was my friends situation.She really regretted the things that happened with her the day before.She messed up her exam while having studied all the concepts very thoroughly,had a scolding from her mother for having a fight with her sister over a very petty issue.All this certainly proves that these were some experiences that  spoilt her day.But this brings me to yet another question that was she really responsible for all this and had she really made a mistake.Nobody of us would think deliberately to answer some of the questions in the exam wrong or to have a fight with somebody.Every one of us wakes up in the morning,walks out in the world and does the best we can do. I would not call all such things mistakes but rather experiences which help us to grow,enrich ourselves.Probably as I told my friend her not having a good exam taught her to be even more thorough the next time and also she got a lesson as to not to indulge into arguments and fights.Now such experiences only enhance us.Again I do not dismiss the fact that if we do not learn from our experiences we are inviting the things which hamper our growth to yet again lead us to despair and dejection.If we do not learn from what we have already gone through we are very much digging our own graves. Also to brood over something that has gone wrong is not the solution.Rather we should move on while learning something from it.
So may be there are actually no mistakes.Many of us live in the past than loving the present.So as they say its better to light a candle than curse the darkness .Some people do stay stuck for years over something they did.Coming to a hault while having done something wrong which wasn’t a deliberate attempt is not done.So do remember it is human nature to make errors and also to learn from them.At times pain does actually serve as well.Each day life sends you chances to learn,grow and step into your best .The person who experiences the most wins.So to learn and move on or to regret is a choice!!!

Totally agreeing to you, I just want to add that even if you feel its your mistake someday, then go deep within, introspect and then learn and act. This would stop making you feel guilty. 🙂
Your stand on mistakes is very unique. I am hearing it for the first time. I liked it. Thanks for posting such a good article. Looking forward to read your future articles.
Nice article…xD
Simply amazing! True to the core! there’s no disgrace in making mistakes but letting them paralyse you with a sense of shame or failure, that would be sad! It’s important that we reflect over the mistakes we have committed knowingly or unknowingly.
Good article on life skills 🙂

Thanks Divya!
I agree! But sometimes it often happens that we do a mistake which can be avoided! And mistakes can be forgotten and forgiven when one accept the mistake and study a lesson and try not to repeat again!
🙂
Yes I totally agree with you Stephy on that.Acceptance and most importantly realisation of a mistake committed is very much necessary!
Wake up
Commit mistakes
Introspect
Learn from them
Become better than you were
This is how you learn and this is how you grow
Committing mistake is not a sin. Just learn from your mistakes.
Inspiring.
This is really helpful!
Amazing and really helpful!Life has its own way of teaching us lessons which will help us to grow and become better always.We just need to understand.In between all of this we should not let these experiences loose our innocence and just try to do best we can everyday:)
Its important for everyone to realise that we need to learn from our mistakes and move forward. Very well written article 🙂
