Magically Transform Mistakes Into Blessings


Day 26 of the Challenge:

 Mistakes are blessings in disguise. We learn from them and become better human beings for them. A child makes mistakes all of the time, but we know it is all a part of the learning process and will all work out. Well, it is the same for adults. We are still learning, growing and will continue to learn and grow to the rest of our lives.

To learn from a mistake, we have to own up to it. And that is where most people become stuck. We often make up excuses or blame others for our mistakes. The problem with excuses and blaming others is that we still feel the pain and disappointment of the mistake but, we don't learn from it because we don't own up to it. We will continually make similar mistakes until we learn from it. You are human and will make mistakes. It is a part of the human experience. That is how we learn to grow into the people we are meant to be.

You can release yourself from the pain by owning up to it and finding things to be grateful for from the mistake. I promise there is always something to be grateful for no matter how big or small the mistake is.

 Today you will choose a mistake that you have made in your past. It doesn't matter if it is big or small, but it should be one that still makes you feel bad when you think about it. You may of hurt someone you love, you may of made a decision that ended up costing you a lot of money, or maybe you lied about something and it ended up creating a bigger problem because of it. Think through your life and the mistakes you have made, choose one that is really weighing you down.

Once you have chosen the mistake you are going to be using, you will then look for things to be grateful for. Here are a few questions to ask yourself.

• What did I learn from this mistake? 
• What are the good things that came out of this mistake?

The most important things that come from making mistakes is the lessons we learn from them. And no matter what the mistake, there is always good things that come from them and help us make better decisions in the future. Think carefully about ten good things that came from your mistake. Here are a few examples from the book, it is a mistake about speeding and getting a ticket:

• I am grateful for the police because if I am honest with myself, I was thinking about other things and not concentrating on the road. 
• I am grateful for the police because it was foolish of me to put myself at risk speeding with a tire that needed to be replaced.
• I am grateful for the police because if I think about my own family being put in danger by other speeding drivers, then I definitely want the police to stop the speeding drivers.

I would suggest that you find time do this practice with any mistakes you have made that you still feel bad about. It not only released you from the mistake, the blessings you find will help align you with the law of attraction. And new and exciting experiences will happen.
