"There are no mistakes, only lessons."

"There are no mistakes, only lessons."-Dan Webster

I'll be honest. I have no idea who Dan Webster is, but this quote is in a book that I'm reading. This is so true. If you think about it, there really is no such thing as a mistake. There is only a lesson to be learned. We learn lessons everyday. It is completely impossible not to learn something everyday. It could be something as small as not to touch the stove when it's on. But, it could be something big as well. If you do something wrong, you learn not to do it again. And if you don't learn, you are simply put through the lesson over and over again until you figure it out.

Everybody makes good and bad decisions. In choosing the wrong one, you unknowingly take a step to learn a lesson. You keep going down your path until you learn that you're doing the wrong thing and you must turn around and switch directions. But you can't. You have to deal with it. Face the consequences of your decision. Take the lesson and glue to your mind. Don't ever forget it.
