Oops...

So lately, I've felt like I keep on messing up. I make mistakes similar to those I've already made. I end up feeling stupid, and my question for today is...Why do we make such silly mistakes, such as those that we've already made?
We learn from the time that we can understand, that we make mistakes to learn from them. So, why would I make such similar mistakes back to back? Well, first of all it could be because I don't see the similarity of the situations until after they're both through. I won't see the same mistake about to happen. I know that this happens a lot, and then I look back and can see the similarity very clearly. It's hard sometimes when we can't see the end from the beginning. Luckily, Someone can.
Secondly, if I make the mistake the second time, I obviously haven't learned my lesson to the extent that I need to. Through the second time, I always end up learning more than I did the first time. I guess that this is an extremely good reason to make the same mistake twice (or more). You have to learn the fullness of your lesson before you can prevent it from happening again. This requires a test of your ability to apply what you've learned to the second situation. If you're not ready, you may do it again, but now that I think about it...it's worth it.
Mistakes really are there for us to learn. I guess that if we all were able to get on and ride our bike the first time we tried, we wouldn't have the self-motivation that we need...that we gain from falling more than once. Mistakes are meant to be, and I'm grateful that I've been able to learn that. Once you do get to the end of something, you can see the whole picture (rather than only the beginning). Or, perhaps you'll see a whole new picture. That can certainly be the case. I guess I"ve answered my question. Bye. Love ya'll.
