The Magic of Mistakes

As scary as it might seem at times, we do learn by doing and that means taking a chance on making mistakes. But mistakes have two benefits. The obvious one is that a mistake alerts us that we have strayed from the path and we get back to where we were headed. The other benefit is that a mistake can open up new doors. Silly putty, chewing gum, rubber, penicillin were all mistakes that actually turned the developers into new directions. So, maybe you failed to do something on time. Don't beat up on yourself. Maybe you have a chance and a motivation to start a business such as a reminder service for other people. There is a lot of magic energy out there and some of it is clustered around your mistakes. Maybe they can be a trigger for a funny dinner time story. Maybe new clothing items need to be invented. I believe that big chested women would often be better off wearing lacy ruffles at the neck, a sort of elegant bib or popcorn catcher. A mistake is also a wonderful chance to stop and nurture yourself. Maybe you didn't realize you needed to stop and give yourself a hug or a pat on the back. Stories are boring if mistakes are not made along the way as the hero tries to make needed changes in a life situation. So let go of your fear of mistakes. Reach out to the magic energy that surrounds you and improve your life. May the spark be with you.
