We all do mistakes..no one is infallible…we do them and learn from them and we become better..however, we forget one important part..we need to accept own mistakes..what does stop us from accepting mistakes..First and the foremost thing is Ego..which is so fragile and baseless…we cant accept that I have done a mistake…so what trails behind…..we enter into vicious circle of lies and a false world…false world of deceptions…we are not lying to anyone else..we are lying to ownself only…we all want to have a good image of self in own eyes and in others eyes as well…and to keep that image intact we start creating a justification for the mistakes done by us…result..we do not work upon improving them as efforts are channelised into hiding them…so its a path of self degradation…
There is another reason that many do not accept mistakes…its mainly for those who want approvals from others…generally somewhere low self esteem…they are afraid of others view point..their criticism..what would others think about me…if I cant do this thing…what would my parents think about me..what would anyone else think about me..however, they forget that the most important person, the center of locus..is you..have you ever bothered, what would you think about yourself…if you live with guilt, how would you forgive yourself? If you accept your mistakes, you know where you have to start working upon it and how you can salvage the things truly.
Accepting the mistakes doesn’t mean, you do them intentionally, it is a mistake if its unintentional, if its intentional and done in full awareness, its not a mistake, its a crime..level might be different, however, if you realize this thing and want to change the things..you are never late for that…
You need to brave yourself to overcome ego, inhibitions and fears to accept the mistakes and correct them…all this can be done by a brave person only..who is brave by heart…who is a true person from inside and outside..just having biceps wouldn’t help….
