Mistaken?!

Through the years of trying to make right with my wrongs... I've observed that our learning is often cheated. When we reach the height of our conclusions, we are really just participating in our own myth-making. We notice change and then we convince ourselves that we have established this new understanding... but as sure as tomorrow will always follow today, we find ourselves to yet again, be perpetually mistaken.

It's crazy how life will expose you… especially when you think you got it! It's like mirrors thrown in your face... showing you that you must contemplate the "truth" again and showing you those powerful moments in which we all find regrettable. Being wrong = being wide open. It's uncomfortable and often embarrassing. Ultimately though, we are fortunate to be erroneous. Our guts are forced to form a new consciousness... one that would not have formed on its own. We rely on our guts and intuition... but beliefs, are always up for question. Even if they have a legitimate source, your beliefs are not permanent realities.

As much as we all dread being wrong, our humanity is too vulnerable not to have fallibility. Imperfections are like life companions. Too often, we consider past learnings, done. We see available information to be so sacred, that our judgements dont need help... but they always DO. We'll always have room to re-think things and we should!!

We are constantly given a chance to start over... 'cause life doesn't stop when you are wrong and the people who care & matter don't stop loving you. Life just demands that you to continue with more humility than before. There's times, we all think we know! There's times I believe I'm certain. There are also those times, I'm lucky enough to see when I'm mistaken...


I think it's fair to say....
Never make assumptions because you never really know...
Confront people on misunderstandings...
Learn to be comfortable with vulnerability...
Forgive everyone but remain honest...
This is how you'll gain your respect and everyone else's... not by being right.

It's not as if I'm right on being wrong, I'm just saying...
'cause life is FULL of misunderstandings, misinterpretations, misconceptions, misjudgments and misbehavior so make room for human error. It'll only be with you your entire life!
