We all make mistakes..how about picking up pieces?

I make mistakes too. We all do. I force myself to pick up the pieces and just move on. I try to learn from my mistakes.

hello LK, Pick up the pieces? There is no need to pick up the pieces. You can never make a good one from it. Moving on doesn't always need to pick up the pieces. It maybe right to pick up the pieces and throw away - it's useless,it's broken. I am able to moved on from all the storms that hit my life, because I want to live. I want to live my life and be myself and be proud of who I am. There is always life after each storm...like there is always a rainbow after each rains. Have a good day dear brother

Hi, LetranKnight25. Well right now, I am making a strong determination to seek out my goal that I have been desiring for so long. I now pray more than anything. I always communicate with God by telling him my dreams and hopes in life. I just continue to keep the faith no matter how bad things may began to look. Sometimes it is not easy at all, but God will always be here even when I have made a mistake and when I am in the process of correcting this same mistake too.

The past is just that past. All that we can take from it are the lessons learned. I don't discuss mine unless it it a good story and enjoyed by others. Hard times happen to all and mine is no different. I am now old, but still often face things that set me off like a 2 year old. What I need to do then is look in the mirror and remind myself that I have been here before and learned that loss of temper and frustration cured nothing. The blessings are that we never stop learning until we die.

mistakes are part of growth,at times experience is the best teacher but to continue with your life after a mistake requires a lot of courage and determination not to dwell in the past. you have to brace up your mind and know the mistake has already been done. what you now have to focus on is the solution, the way forward. and as you focus on the solution you try not to allow thoughts of the past interfere in your decision making about the way forward. see the future not the past it will help you a lot.

There is a famous quote that I believe in to a certain extent, 'The foolish learn from their mistakes, the wise learn from others' mistakes.' However, I do believe that there are situations we must all fall into, and make that certain mistake to personally overcome the situation. The experience of resolving the mistake is the most important part of it.

Well since your topic is moving on, my story is this. I moved on by having a plan B. In every decision I make, I have plans and I do it by categorizing to A and B or if there are C and D I will make one too. There were so many mistakes I did in the past and if I will estimate, there are more wrong than right so I stick to my other plans. I moved on by doing other plans. For example, before I decided to apply for a part time call center just to add to my source of income, but it is hard to be able to enter that kind of environment, so my plan B is to just work hard on my online jobs. I looked for other online jobs or just focus of Reviewstreams. I moved on immediately instead of crying and feeling frustrated on not getting in the call center world. Also I am a credit card defaulter, since I got illness I stop working regularly, that became the reason of failure to pay my bills regularly too. Now I am experiencing harrassment from the collection agencies, I cannot bear it but I have to accept it since that will be the consequence. What i do now is to find other source of income so that little by little I will be able to pay for that big debts. I am not planning of running away from it, since I used that cards for my parents medicine before, I just hope that I can have a steady source of income to pay for my debts.

I saw a text at the bottom of your discussion that says "erasing a mistake". Theres no way we can erase a past mistake and there is also no reason for us to stand still or keep wishing that those mistakes be undone. The mistake we made created a damage and the only and best way for us to do is stop the damage and repair it ASAP.

Hi Letran Knight: In my case, one of the things that I usually do is to remember that we can't live in the past. Otherwise I won't get over this bad situation. Second I try to learn from my bad experiences. I think about what happened and what I could learn from these negative things and I chose to be happy. When you chose to be happy you look for help if you need it, you forget and forgive if that's the case or you just decided to continue with your life and learn to be wiser. That's how I pick up my pieces. ALVARO

For me, mistakes fall into different categories -- those that are primarily people mistakes, and those which hurt only yourself. With people mistakes, you have often hurt someone else besides yourself -- maybe lots of people. In that case, I don't think you will really be able to move on unless you have gone to those people, admitted your wrong doing or wrong attitude, and asked for their forgiveness. If there is a way to make restitution, then you also need to make things right. Or, if the problem is someone else hurting you in a relationship, you have to forgive them in your heart and be willing to forgive to their face if they ask. You might also ask yourself if you could have done anything to prevent the problem. Then, learn from the mistake, and then move on. When the problem is more a wrong business decision or school problem, you might ask wise friends for counsel and try to ask yourself how you can prevent this from happening again and if there is anything you can do to lessen the consequences of a wrong decision. Then make a plan as to how you will build on what you've learned for a better result next time. In either case, you do need to ask God's forgiveness if you have done something morally wrong. Then, no matter what kind of mistake you made, trust God to help you deal with the consequences and keep you from making that same mistake again. If one reads the book of Proverbs in the Bible, and takes it to heart to learn from it, many of life's worst mistakes can be prevented.

Human as we are, we arent perfect and therefore there would always be a time that we commit mistakes. What's important is that we learn something from it, never commit that same mistake again and move on. For all the mistakes i did i used to think that im the most evil person in the world, but i just prayed to GOD to forgive me and help me forget it and move on. Now it made me a better person.

we all do commit mistakes and it's up to us how we would handle it. well as for me dear friend i have come across a lot of people and some of them i have committed mistake some i tried mending it but some i did not it depends upon the mistake you have done or they have done that sometimes picking up the pieces may not do. i just had to go on with my life and learn from it. all we have to do is to move on dear friend.
