Everybody makes mistakes in life. That is unavoidable.
The things in our past that some may consider “mistakes” cannot be undone, and they all play a part in creating the version of us that exists today.
But, there is an important factor to reflect upon when reviewing your own progress in life or in assessing another individual:
A person on a positive life path, or someone you may define as a “good” person will own their mistakes, learn from them, alter their behavior, and try to make amends.
A “bad” person will deny, lie, make excuses, create diversions & cover up the truth–all while continuing the offense and likely adopting increasingly more harmful behaviors.
Which do you want to be?
What kind of people do you want to spend your life in close contact with?
Which do you want to be in positions of leadership on our planet?
