Whenever we commit a mistake and we know we have goofed up, whether that mistake was intentional or unintentional as we know, if no one is aware of that, we try to hide that, we try to cover up that mistake, so that no one gets to know that we have goofed up. We always try to be perfect and we do not like that people are criticising us, they look down at us and it takes courage to say that yes I did it and I am ready to accept the responsibility of what I did in front of everyone. What others would think about you, people will not like that and all such things are in your thoughts. You have to accept as everyone has right to do mistakes because we always try to do right things as per our understanding and thoughts. WE cannot run our life according to what others think and do. The mistake happens because we are unaware of future or else you would have altered the course. Accept that you did it and you are ready to correct it. Try it once and see how you feel about yourself after that. How prod you feel and how it strengthens your confidence.
You are here to change yourself not the world and in this course, when someone is not accepting mistake which normally people asks me, that if he did not accept the mistake, so why should I, you are here to take care of yourself, where are you in all this. So accept what you have done but not what’s not done by you. So many times we are blamed for the things which we have not done, however, we are unable to speak up against that blame and that small thing starts increasing in size inside us, killing our peace, killing our confidence, increasing the frustration and stress and filling up negativity. Why do you want to do that? When you know it, you have not done it, speak up, do not care about if that person will accept your point of view or not, so many times, we inculcate the belief that what’s the point in speaking up, I know he would have never accept my view point, however, ask yourself, did you assert yourself? That is the most important thing. Worry about how you would feel if you keep bearing it silently not if others would accept it or not. And moreover, in most of the cases, that is also just a wrong self belief as we are trying to build justification, most of the time, people are very understanding to listen and see the difference between right and wrong. Once you speak up against the blame, you will see how it makes you feel about yourself.
It is not about others, it is about yourself. You have every right to do mistake as we learn from them, just do not repeat same mistakes if you do, means you have not learned from them. Similarly, always stand up against what you have not done and is imposed on you as it’s again about yourself not others.
