Im new in here, and I wanted to open a discussion, but not really knowing what im doing, i chose this topic.
It seems to me, that my mistakes come back in full circles, meaning, if Ive made a mistake in my past, I find someone much like me makeing the exact same mistake. Funny part it, i see them making that mistake and try to tell them, but much like I was then, ..they dont listen now.
Some call it karma..call it what you will. Will i learn from my mistakes?? I dont know, I suppose when i stop learning all together, maybe then.

Ah, yes, the old adage..."You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink"! This goes on and on with my son, who is 22 years old. Having already been there and done that, I can only give experienced advice...but, you know, while at the water...he won't drink and prefers to choose his own stream. It's disenheartening, but it's life...I will never stop trying to lead him in the right direction. I feel it's my job as a mom!

The best teachers are our experiences and part of it are our mistakes. Of course, we are learning from our mistakes. If not, then I don't know what to think. therefore, let's not dwell on the past mistakes but to move forward with something learned!
