Resisting mistakes

I was at my son’s football game last night and the drill team came on during half time.  It was a fabulous performance, however one girl made several mistakes.   I thought about how she must feel and how big her mistakes may feel to her.   From my removed point of view I could see how small her little mistakes were in the sceme of her life, and I hoped she would not be too upset.  Sometimes life seems so important and so serious that we walk our path with an agenda to avoid mistakes.  Then when we do make a mistake we make it bigger and more serious than it is.  We are all in school, the education of a spiritual being having a physical experience.   They say don’t swet the small stuff, and it is all small stuff.

If we forget this is just a playground, a school house and take life too seriously we don’t enjoy or learn as much as we could.  When we are afraid of making mistakes we become too cautious, to repressed and cannot live life fully.  We hesitate and don’t act when we could have had a great experience or learning opportunity.  We hide and stay safe, but we don’t grow, expand and express.

So go for it today and everyday, use your discretion and choose with your intuition and then act, be unstoppable, outragiously happy, fully self expressed and live life to the fullest.   Do it even if you don’t have it all figured out ahead of time, be spontanious and improvise.  Live, laugh and love.   There really are no such things as mistakes, only learning opportunities.   Learn, love and grow as much as you possibly can.
