IS IT A MISTAKE?

Is it a mistake? How is it a mistake? Why is it a mistake?

Many have always asked this question at various point through their journey in life. At various junction of their life they ask this critical question “is it a mistake?”

I know that by now you may be asking yourself what led to this question “is it a mistake?” Many things could lead to this question at various points in life. The main reactants that produce this question are our choices in life. These choices could be in choosing friend, lover, career, school, husband or wife just to mention a few out of thousands of choices we make in life.

This question does not arise when all things are well with the choices we have made, but arises when problems (I prefer to call it a challenge) springs forth due to the choice we have made. When we have a problem with our choice we ask;
Is it a mistake for going into a relationship with him?
Is it a mistake for choosing you as a husband?
Is it a mistake to have chosen to work in this company?
Is it a mistake I made to study nursing?

Let me ask why do you think it is a mistake? Is it because you don’t derive the joy you used to derive from your relationship? Or your spouse has done something wrong? Or your boss does not appreciate all your effort? And this made you think you have made a mistake in choosing that friend, husband/wife or job.

In the first place it could really be a mistake. Probably you never took your time before making that choice you made. Making choices and taking decision in life especially in regards to relationship, one need to take a lot of time so as not to make a mistake with your choice and decision.

Many rush into marriage without taking their time to find out who their spouse really is and after marriage they discover the bad part of their partner and now gets a full understanding that they have made a mistake in choosing who they married. So why don’t you take good time before you make a choice in life so as not to be of those who end up asking themselves IS IT A MISTAKE?

In the other hand, you might think it is a mistake but it is really not a mistake. The reason you thinks it is a mistake is because you have not taken time to understand the choice you made. Many relationships lack understanding, many marriages have lost understanding and so is it with many organizations. When there is understanding in your relationship you would stand firm through all kind of storms that may lead to the question “is it a mistake”.

Take time out to understand your partner, spouse, friend and boss. You will then find out “IT IS NOT A MISTAKE”.
