When I do make a mistake I start reminding myself of all the mistakes I have ever committed and how dare I did this and how dare I said that and I start thinking of all the consequences and all the people I have offended and how many different ways I could have possibly offended them or their family members or anyone they know etc. etc. etc. It NEVER ends. It's like I committed a crime. It is just ridiculous. We ALL commit mistakes and we know it! and even if we didn't know, when we realize that we did or how big of a mistake we made, we start to PANIC!!!! But let's be real, we shouldn't do that.
It is not written in any handbook or manual that the first thing we should do is to go crazy thinking and pondering, analyzing what we said or did, what we could have said or could have done. No one should feel this way, it's a mistake, big DEAL! Get over it!!!!!! yes, I'm saying get over it as well as the person who was offended or whatever, get over it!
Seriously, this life is too precious, too short. So now we know that if we didn't like a certain thing or gesture we have the right to stay away from the person so it doesn't happen again or that we could come forward and apologize and that's it!
I can't and won't keep dwelling in the past, I have to just take what I feel is important, a learning lesson from the experience and move on.
Will I continue to make mistakes? YES, probably! however, I won't make "THAT" mistake again, at least I really hope I won't.
And specially to those people I have offended I say here "SORRY!!!!!" but sometimes that sorry isn't loud enough and/or big enough and so I just have to pray that God forgives me for that action and keeps guiding me in His right path. ameen.
