Everyone makes mistakes so why can't you?

I remember a great Sesame Street song, yes I still remember Sesame Street music. It went

Everyone makes mistakes so why can't you?
Your sister, and your mother, and your father, brother too.
Big people, small people, matter of fact tall people!
Everyone makes mistakes so why can't you?

I've always remembered that song. Perhaps it's odd that everytime something goes wrong or I feel I've done wrong, that song seems to pop into my head. I think I remember it for a reason. I can even see the show as he sings it; it's Big Bird of course.

But it's true. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect. This is something that is constantly preached to us from the time we are little until we find ourselves preaching it to our children and our children's children. Mistakes are just as common as failures, successes, and showers in life. We make mistakes, we learn from mistakes, we move on from mistakes, and hopefully, we don't repeat mistakes.
I've made mistakes throughout my life, but I feel I've also made up for my mistakes and redeemed myself. I don't regret any mistakes though, because that would mean I wouldn't have learned something. Instead, I block them out, totally forget about them. If there's one thing that's sound, it's my memory. Though I use it mainly to remember good things, I can remember the bad things if they reoccur or a similar situation shows up.

So if you make a mistake, move on, learn from it, keep it in the back of your mind. It's not worth dwelling on or fretting about, yes fret. Everything happens for a reason :)
