when a mistake is made, people try to pretend that it did not happen. they try to cover it up by trying to justify the wrong situation, and that leads to additional mistakes. quite often, more damage is done to relationships (whether it be with an intimate partner or family member) which may result in a lack of trust and integrity because of the actions taken after the original mistake. i want to stress again that this is true in personal relationships as well as in any other relationship.
most often, people get prosecuted, not for the original crime, but for the attempt to cover it up by lying or being in complete denial about the events that have happened in regards to the mistakes made.
of course there is a choice when a mistake is made… it makes more sense to just admit it, learn from it, correct it and apologize to those that were adversely affected. mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. that is, there is power in properly admitting a mistake.
accepting personal responsibility and taking ownership of your own behaviour, mistakes and the consequences of that behaviour can save a whole lot of turmoil and pain and until you accept responsibility for your actions or failures, it will be very difficult for you to develop self-respect or even have the respect of others.
rather than trying to cover up a mistake, there can be many personal and organisational advantages to properly admitting a mistake.
we all make mistakes in life, i mean afterall, we are human beings and not one of us are perfect, but when you can’t own the mistakes you’ve made that’s when you have issues that you will have to work through… all i’m saying is just own the mistakes you have made and strive to be a better version of you! yep, that’s it. 💯👊🏾
