The Mistakes Story

Last weekend my orienteering club was host of a national cup competition. It went really well and the weather was nice....

No, it didnt went well. Somehow it happened that a serious mistake was done and it spoiled the whole competition. I`m not going to comment any details because it affects one very dear to my heart person but this trouble is just "pushing " me to write something about it. I mean something about the mistakes that we make and how important they appear to be lately for our entire fortune.

When I was 19 I made a ..... ok, it was a mistake. The pregnancy. But now when I see the result of this "mistake" I`m not sure that it was a mistake actually. It was probably meant to be. It was just supposed to happen. I dont believe now that if I didnt gave birth to Kalina my life wold run better and easier way. I`m just not sure about it because I met a former schoolmate of mine a few months ago and she told me things that made me feel like I have made a big success of my life though I have always had those bad taste in my mouth from the fear from complete and entire failure. It appeared in the end that it wasnt a failure but something really good that I have done. It just took 6-7 yrs. to realise it, to feel it and to understand it.

Mistakes can be oportunities in your life. Mistakes can be options. Mistakes come for a reason and it`s up to you to see that reason, to figure it out and to make the most from any situation you fall into. Because we can benefit even from the mistakes that we make. Even if it takes 6 years to understand it.

Who is not working isn`t wrong. If you do nothing of course you will never be wrong. But you will never be right either! And you will never know how far you can go. I went this far and I can`t wait to see what happens next in this movie called "my life".

If you make a mistake that compromises you among the whole community that you belong to just look around and see who is with you. If there is nobody- go away from there. If you find people to give you love and support - they are your friends and the mistake you have done comes to show you exactly who they are. And if you are smart you will learn a good lesson no matter how desperate and bad the situation is. By the way, it`s never too bad, trust me!
