Thoughts on a Chilly Thursday Morning 12/3/09

Its a cold Thursday morning and it seems as though I can not escape the Tiger Woods coverage. Every channel that I flip to there is a comment about the recent events of the past week. I am very hesitant to turn to the Food Network this morning, as I am not ready to see Tiger situation interjected into a recipe that I am trying to learn.

I wish he and his family the best in working through this situation. At the end of the day, he is human just like everyone else, although every aspect of his life is on display for the public because of his celebrity. I am not here to have any opinions on his actions, because it is not mine or anyone else’s place to judge.

My thoughts over the last couple of days have revolved around mistakes. Hopefully, the conversations that are taking place on the news regarding Tiger are making us all look at every aspect of our lives and the decisions we are making.

No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Some of the mistakes that we make during the course of our lives tell the story of what are character truly is. We are the jury that needs to judge our own mistakes and determine what to do next. In life, we are our own toughest critic and need to be able to live with the decisions that we make in life whether they are good or bad.

Mistakes are a natural part of life and how you choose to deal with them define your character. We can not let our mistakes define who we are. Learn from your mistakes and move forward.

“A man's errors are his portals of discovery.”

-James Joyce
 
“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.”

-Swami Sivananda

“I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life's experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life's experiences would be a great mistake.”

-Luis Miguel

“All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.”

-Winston Churchill
 
“There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.”

-Richard Bach
