Mistakes...

Everyone makes mistakes..

Most mistakes are usually self-inflicted.

Should mistakes be regretted? Should a person sulk because of a past mistake?

A mistake is an action made by a person. A mistake is only a mistake if the resulting outcome from that action have a negative effect. Since that mistake was intentionally done by a person can it be regretted just because it didn't produce positive results? Just because things didn't turn out right, can a person just regret them? Can mistakes even be regretted?

True, mistakes are unwanted. They sometimes causes pain or even causes someone to go without.

Is it fair to regret a mistake just because the results are not pleasurable?

Should mistakes be seen as a learning situation? Rather than sulking, should a person analyze their mistake, understand why they made that mistake, and then figure out a plan to correct the mistake or at least make the situation better?

Even though mistakes are self-inflicted, is it easy for a person to just see it as a learning situation and move on? Even though a mistake is one's own fault, is it easy to just figure out a plan to correct the mistake?

No one likes mistakes. Mistakes shine light in one's life making all negative visible. Mistakes brings most badness to light and also create obstacles and barriers.

No one want to admit to a self-inflicted mistake because admitting to that means admitting to being the cause of the current badness in their life.

So can a mistake even be regretted? Can one actually regret their own doings? Is it even fair to regret something just because the results was not as expected?

Life brings many loops and turns. Some actions causes a loop that leads to a positive, easy road and some actions causes a loop that leads to a negative, rough road. Just because the road is not positive and easy is it fair to call that action a mistake? Similarly, it is right to accept and be happy with an action just because it leads to the positive and easy road. Should all actions be thought of as equal?

Once an action is done, should the resulting road not matter? Before all actions, should a person be content with that action thus forcing them to be content with the result?

Should every action be a learning situation? Regardless of the outcome, should an action solely be defined as a teaching tool making the resulting outcome simply noted as the lesson learned?

Everyone makes mistakes. The way that mistake is viewed determines the next step. That mistake can either be seen as a result from a lesson or as the effect of an action.

Either way, a person's mindset controls their life.
