Oh, FeelingSad - why would you want to do everything right the first time? How boring life would be. We are "human" beings, not "perfect" beings - our very definition is being imperfect (that's why pencils have erasers, why white-out was invented). We must have challenges in order to learn, grow, gain strength, and to develop empathy, compassion, and concern for our fellow flawed humans. Our lives are made up of choices and decisions, and we are gifted with the ability to change course, change our minds, rectify our errors. Learn to just say "Oops!" and move on taking with you whatever wisdom you have gained from your mis-steps. It is what you learn from your mistakes that keeps you moving through life and gives you the ability to lend a helping hand to others. Cherish your mistakes - they help bind the tapestry of your life together and help to keep you moving forward as long as you focus on where you are going from that point onward instead of staying bogged down in the mistake itself. Go on - get along, now.
