Everyone makes mistakes
And some mistakes are immediately apparent
While others take years to realize
But what constitutes a mistake?
Undesired outcome?
Unexpected result?
Regret?
There is a difference between mistakes
And accidents
Accidents happen unintentionally
Unexpectedly
By forces outside of your control
Mistakes happen
When one makes a choice
And the result is not good
The act of choosing
Is not a mistake
The mistake is
Thinking that the choice
Is the right one
But since there is no way
To see the future
Whatever drives one to think
That a choice is the right choice
At that particular moment
Is not a mistake
So in essence
There are no mistakes in life
Just bad outcomes
And the outcomes
Are usually based on
Your choices made after
The initial choice
