Pay once and move on

in motivation •  7 years ago 

Mistakes are an integral part of greatness. Show me one man who has never made a mistake and we will see the mediocre in him together. Mistakes are essential, whether taken ignorantly or as an act of trial, whether productive or not, A mistake is a mistake and it serves one Purpose; TEACHING We've been conditioned to think that mistakes are a terrible thing, bad and all. But it's all a misinterpretation, Making a mistake is better than doing nothing.I mean at least you tried it out and you just knew a way that thing is not gonna work, Look on the bright side. Now mistakes attract prices, and over time I've come to the conclusion that the wrong mentality towards mistakes started when the Price is interpreted as PUNISHMENT. That's why some folks never get out of that failure, they don't try again after that Mistake. I mean they don't want to be punished anymore but unknowingly they keep PUNISHING THEMSELVES. Let's leave English here, I don't know where the word punishment came from but I don't believe there's such a thing. There are only PRICES to be incurred for doing things and since everything attracts a PRICE then it's only fair. Not a big deal.....

Still not getting it???? Even the Bible said the WAGES of Sin is DEATH. Wages not Punishment. And if you look up the words in a dictionary you'd discover wages is closer to Prices than Punishment. And Pricing is a Fundamental Law, If you don't do it, there's a price, if you do it but failed, there's a price and if you succeed there's a price. So why not take on the most attractive and Rewarding Price? And if it fails, welcome to earth once again. I'm not saying you should make a failure out of yourself or keep making mistakes, NO. My point is, don't give up after every mistake, you've already paid the price. I mean you've been flogged already so stop flogging yourself. It's pointless, Once you've paid the price, Move on. Go on with your Life. I've seen students who had to repeat classes due to a thing or another. They've been flogged, Yet they will keep on flogging themselves. That's not proper, There is more to life. If you are gonna make a difference you need a determined mind, Not the kind that sulks after every mistake. I mean Pay the Price and Go. Stop punishing yourself, it's not a Punishment, Just a Price. Don't pay too much for too less. Failed? So what, You aren't the first so get over it and Get Ready for the next episode. That's how You conquer.

Timeless post, it cut across all aspect of life. It touched me.

On point bro, why flogging yourself when you have been flogged

Thanks

Glad it touched you

Sometimes in life though, we pay more than once and even then it's really hard to move on.

Wonderful message you just passed across.

Truly, moving on is not that easy, but when you get burned by a hot coal, you don't hold on it, do you? I'm sure you will drop it, same is the situation of moving on from a mistake. Remember the cup gets heavier only in respect to how long its been held. Thanks for reading dear.
