mistakes were made

Okay, lets face it: we mess up.
I'm awed by how many times I can muss up an otherwise perfect day.  After a while, you start wondering: is this really worth it?
So, here's a few tips, and a word of advice.
Just because you can never be perfect doesn't mean you shouldn't try.  but it's futile!  cries the little voice in your head.  It's worthless, meaningless!  Worse than a dog chasing it's tail!  My answer to that?  So what!  We're like... like a window.  If you keep the glass unbroken, hide it away in the darkness, it becomes worthless.  If you bring it into the light, it reflects it and bends it and magnifies it--and, if it is a little chipped or even completely shattered, the very presence of light transforms it into something of even greater beauty.  So don't be afraid of your mistakes, or if you are, don't be afraid to admit it.
Here's some tips for dealing with mistakes faux pas, and guilt that gets to us all:
1) Give yourself alone time to work out your problems
2) Confide in someone you trust
3) Don't be afraid to try and fix things.  Apologies are harder than they look, but they're worth it.
4) Pray and read your Bible (if you don't believe in God, look up some verses online)
5) Don't beat yourself up about it.  Instead, learn from it, and don't do it again.
Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving the people around you.
