"Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life." Sophia Loren (1934- ) Italian Actress

 

Mistakes ARE part of life.  We, hopefully, learn from them and become better once we realize the action was a mistake.  Do we regret them? Perhaps, but how can we grow and mature without them?

I just hope as I live a "full life", my mistakes are minimal AND I become a stronger and better person as a result.

Thank you, Sophia, for those words of wisdom!

How very true! The dues of life are the mistakes we make, but I have to believe it is more like the investment in life. THanks for sharing.

Ann, I like this and have often learned more from my mistakes than my successes!  ~ Susan

We are to learn from our mistakes and failings, and should study to show ourselves approved to make gains towards success. May we all learn to trust God through our sufferings and trials, come thru the fiery furnace and thank God for his many blessings.

Ann, I agree and thank you for reminding us of that!  I think it's easy to get caught up in having to do something "right" or being as "perfect" as possible, which are great things to aspire to.  But at the same time, we're human and mistakes are made.  The best way to deal with them, of course, is to take the lessons learned and apply them differently.  Fail, fail, fail again -- it's the best way to eliminate the guesswork!
