Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Benefit From the Mistakes of Othersby Jane “You cannot live long enough to make all the mistakes. Learn from the mistakes of others.†In every mistake, there is learning, but not every mistake has to be your own. Just as society uses history to learn from the mistakes of earlier generations, so can you. Save yourself some time and frustration and look to those around you and learn from their experiences. For instance, instead of being defensive when an older person passes on advice listen and appreciate the learning they’ve gained over time. Tune into their mistakes more closely than their successes. Reflect on why things went wrong and tuck the learning away in your mind for your own future challenges. By avoiding the mistakes made by others, you can create true success for yourself in a lot less time. Every dream is as real as you choose to make it. You're as young or as old as you think yourself to be.Those things you sincerely expect will find their way to you. Those things you most fondly imagine will relentlessly pull you forward.The love you give away will always be with you. Everything for which you are sincerely grateful will grow stronger and more abundant.Your intentions will be fulfilled when you give them true purpose. Your goals will be reached when they come from your heart.This day will bring fulfillment when you choose to allow it. This life will be rich when you give your best to it.What do you choose in the innermost depth of your being? That is what life will surely become. There is no reason to avoid the effort. Because once you get started, the effort will feel great. There is no need to fear what might happen. Because whatever happens, you'll be able to successfully deal with it. You may be nice and comfortable where you are. By all means enjoy the moment you're in, but don't become so comfortable that you keep yourself stuck there. Spreading out in all directions is a world full of possibilities. Get up, get out there, explore, achieve, fulfill, and experience. Put your awareness, care and attention into this now moment. Then step forward to experience the adventure of the next moment. Feel again, right now, all the joy you've ever known. With profound gratitude and the highest of expectations, get yourself making even more joyful experiences.
