mistakes = success

I’ve wasted time. I haven’t tried as hard as I could. As hard as I should. As hard as I used to. I’ve made excuses and lied to myself. And I’m sick and tired of it. I’m disgusted with myself for it. And it’s past time to change that. Every second I can experience is one second God gave me when He didn’t have to. Who am I to throw that away? But I’ve learned. Doesn’t that make all those wasted moments not wasted? Yes, it does. I wasted time, but I learned from my mistakes. I realized the problem, and I know how to fix it. That makes everything all worth it now. Every mistake I’ll make from now on will only further show me what God needs me to know before I can have the next success - and many successes I’ve had after every learning experience. Knowing myself as well as I do, I can guarantee there are only more successes to come… and A LOT of them there will be!
