Have you ever made a mistake?\u00a0 (Of course, you have!\u00a0 Who hasn\u2019t?)<\/em> Have you ever repeated the same mistake; you know – made \u2018it\u2019 again? (Of course, you have!\u00a0 Who hasn\u2019t?) <\/em>Are you curious to know why people make mistakes?\u00a0 And why they repeat mistakes? \u00a0\u00a0Would you like to stop making mistakes?<\/p>\n

More often than not, making mistakes and repeating them has something to do with \u2018consequences,\u2019 as in being aware that there are consequences!!!\u00a0 And \/ or – are the consequences of the mistake large enough to register in a big way, so that when you next reach for the \u2018thing\u2019 that sent electric shocks through your body, you back off before shocking yourself again!<\/p>\n

What stops people from being aware of the plausible consequences??? <\/em><\/p>\n

Lack of Knowledge<\/strong> \u2013 My friend lives in a high-rise apartment in NYC.\u00a0 Last week, her apartment, as well as the hallway and elevator, were filled with noxious fumes. Apparently, her neighbor \u2013 a countryGirl turned cityGirl\u00a0 – erroneously thought that if she opened all her windows, there would be enough ventilation to enable her to safely spray paint furniture in her apartment. (Jaw-dropping thinking?)<\/em> Sometimes we make mistakes, because we just don\u2019t know any better.\u00a0 Hopefully, there will be no more spray-painting! Lack of knowledge; plain and simple.<\/p>\n

Amnesia \u2013<\/strong> I\u2019ve noticed that especially when it comes to food, people develop amnesia.\u00a0 For instance, my friend Betty gets a terrible headache if she partakes in more than two glasses of red wine (per meal); yet, the other night while dining together, she ingested three full glasses and sure enough, she regretted it in the morning.\u00a0 She said, \u201cI keep forgetting that too much wine gives me a killer headache.\u201d\u00a0 Hmmmm\u2026. Perhaps, the pain from these headaches isn\u2019t painful enough for her to remember to stop after her second drink. Maybe next time?<\/p>\n

Huh? There\u2019s Another Way? \u2013 <\/strong>Sometimes people make repeat mistakes because they do not know that there\u2019s another way.\u00a0\u00a0 Mary is not very good at math and consequently, she consistently makes accounting errors resulting in bounced checks and high bank fees! Mary didn\u2019t realize that she could change her checking account to an overdraft checking account.\u00a0\u00a0 Now that she knows, all is well!<\/p>\n

Everyone makes mistakes.\u00a0 Hopefully, we learn from them and remember enough not to repeat them!<\/em><\/p>\n
