How to make a big mistake

WOW, the title of the topic sure was eye-catching for me. Oh well; how to make one? I got you something to share about this, too: I've learned as far as I'm concern;the most regretful thing happened was listening to my parents. I have my own rules ever since I grew up even that I live with them. That's my rational mind doing and saving me from any disgrace so far. Way back June, as I tried to please them in a way, I've listened to my mom's "request" in taking care of the major bills and give more contribution that I usually give to them. That was that small voice of conscience. The next thing you know; due to my act of kindness; I lost half of my opportunity to get a house now. That's how a big mistake took me so far. I've got that similar topic like this before but one thing is for sure; We makes mistakes, we regret and what's most important is we acknowledge those mistakes and do something about it to correct those mistakes. That's the way of living. We may tend to make more worst mistakes in the future but what's important is how you grow from it by not blaming others from your mishaves and fixing it as much as possible alone or getting a help of your friend if needed. Thanks and happy mylotting. I'll be waiting for your thoughts about this, too.

It has taken a while but I think the biggest mistakes I have ever made has been going against that little voice or that feeling. I was always told to go with my instinct but I am also one that analyzes things...that got me in trouble more than once..LOL. I do better with that now too.

Most of the time i listen to my mind but it doesn't mean that i obey all . There are instances where the mind consult the heart when at a crossroad in life. mistakes are usually minimized when the heart compromise with the mind. But often the mind with that gift of brilliance disregard the heart as the emtional nature of the heart doesn't give out sensical views.

Hi savypat, Yes I do have that little voice but sadly I don't always listen. I think however, that I'm getting better with age but it may well be that like you, I don't have the much opportunity. Blessings.

I think as we get older we do make fewer big mistakes. I still make little mistakes frequently but I try to refrain from the big ones. I do have a little voice and when it speaks I normally listen.

often.these voices are in every human.more or less high and low.these are called sixth scence of men.this are very usefull.these aware you of danger ahead.one should respond to these.i sometimes have these.these are very good and you should act on them.annd as well as you are concerned then you may improve with age or you should hacve a company of friends which are sharp and fast.

Obviously, every normal human being has that 'little voice.' But we always do not care for that. See the temptation, which is often momentary, prevents us from listening to the 'little voice' rather I use the term 'cry of the soul.' But I say don't worry. What has to happen that only happens. There is no point in looking back and say -- had I done that I could save this. No, it is never like that. Each and everything is pre-scheduled by somebody else who is invisible. We think we do mistakes but these are all his/her games.

Yes, I have that little voice and I generally listen to it. I think we know things on a subconscious level that our waking brain does not and when we get a feeling we should or should not do something we should listen to that. It's usually right!

I learned a very long time ago to listen to what my body was telling me )my little voice?). So many times I met someone who seemed nice. But There was something that told me "no". Eveytime I said to myself that it was stupid and not rational, I regreted it. Now I listen to my little voice for everything. I don´t know (who knows?) if it´s chemistry, neurotransmitters or whatever you want to call them. I have it. I make use of it and it helps.

I follow my heart in consultation with my conscience. This helps many a times in avoiding big mistakes. But then... there are times when I have to consider my brain too.

I hope I can have the gift like yours. But I rely most of the time in my personal instinct.

In addition to what you said, it's letting your emotions take control of you. Like for example, if you're angry, you can think first before saying or doing in response to what made you angry. Or you can just act on what you feel which most of the time will just cause a big trouble.
