Mistakes don’t start out that way. Often, they begin as well-intentioned attempts to solve a problem, set a direction or improve upon an action, plan, or spontaneous shift in an undetermined path.
Then, something happens. Or it changes or goes unnoticed.
The errs of our ways are mainly accidental. Mistakes come from effort.
Many times, because we are in a rush or in a mood, mistakes simply appear. Sometimes they can’t be changed, or it will take more effort to resolve them than to simply live with them.
Mistakes, unfortunately, are a fact of life. Nonetheless, they are proof we are living, that we are trying, that we are human.
