Mistakes are actions or behaviors that proceeds from wrong judgements or inadequate knowledge. These are things we often tend to regret later.

Mistakes are not all bad as they provide experience from which we learn invaluable lessons.
It is also important to note that, our mistakes do not in anyway define us.

Since I was born??
That's quite a long time and I've made so many mistakes, some of which I have forgotten and some of which I just might never forget.
Some of those mistakes I've made since I was born are;

The mistake of uncontrolled anger: anger as we know is just a letter short from danger. This I've come to believe due to an experience I had where I was very angry to the extent of physical harming someone.
That was one act I will never forget and will never repeat.

Speaking carelessly: Our words are very powerful they can a person sad and make them smile. The effect of our words go a long way and I've been guilty of using my words wrongly to create the wrong effect on a friend.

This ruined our friendship and I take the blame no doubt but I've also learnt from that, to think before speaking and to be very careful of what comes out of my mouth for words are free, it is how we use them that may cost us.

Yes! Positively though.
Learning from the mistakes have shaped my life and hence, my growth in a positive way.

Undoubtedly, our past decisions, actions and mistakes may tend to affect us negatively in one way or the other but this could be avoided when we decide to take control and live totally in the present while accepting everything that has happened and chosing to improve instead dwelling in the past.

This could be a tedious process but the result will definitely be worth it.
I've made mistakes in life but I try as much as I can to only learn from them without letting it define any aspect of my life.

They're are my mistakes so I blame no one but myself. It's unhealthy dishing out blames especially when you're at fault, it solves nothing.

Recognizing your mistake and working on improving more productive than blaming people. We are not perfect and were not even created to be perfect so yes, mistakes are allowed as long as we're ready learn from them and avoid them.

Though we're prone to make mistakes, we're not prone to dwell on them.

We can overcome these mistakes and move forward by following some certain tips which include;

• Recognize the fact that it's a mistake and not a death sentence.
• Accept it, accept that you've gone or done wrong. This is a very important step in moving forward.
• Do your best to fix it and if you can't, move on knowing you tried.
• Forgive yourself and don't dwell on it. You are mortal and not built to be perfect.
• Learn from that mistake and improve to avoid repetition. When it's done once it's a mistake, but twice, it's a decision.

Mistakes are part of life, can't be avoided but can definitely be reduced drastically.
