As I was looking at some motivational quotes to start off my day this morning and I saw one that was written by Orlando A. Battista which states," An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it".  I thought about this through out the day, because it resonated with me along with something that I learned some time ago related to making mistakes.  If you fail to learn the lesson after you make them, then you are bound to repeat them.  Today's quote offers a grace period to repeating a mistake or going around the same mountain one more time.  If you choose to not correct what is considered an error, then the consequences of that action become not only a mistake, but also provide you with a form of condemnation later, as to why you are in the same boat once again.  When things occur in our lives, they are part  of our lessons that we are being taught by the universe as our bodies and souls dance in our great life's journey.  At one point down the road, hopefully a lot later than sooner, the body and soul will separate when it is time to leave what we have come here to do.  I can only suspect that by the time that happens we will leave this great wonderful place with so many lessons that we were able to learn and became the imprint of what our life looked like when we were alive.  Wisdom brings us the enlightenment of knowing and recognizing that there are consequences to our actions.  Hopefully with time and age behind you, the alarm bells go off a lot quicker when you contemplate making a poor choice and are reminded quickly of how the outcome of your selection may not be in your best interest.  Today's words of wisdom are a great reminder that we have a brief period of time to acknowledge when we make errors and the likelihood to rectify them is devoted to the time immediately after.  The transformation of a minor misstep to a full fledged mistake that can endure longer than we wanted it to, is entirely up to you.
