| June 19 Making Mistakes I am human. I make mistakes. Sometimes when I make a mistake, I catastrophize it and soon I feel myself to be a really bad person. Once this gets going, I worry that others will see me as bad. I fear that they see me in the way that I am seeing me. The self-condemnation is now complete, and I have successfully worked myself into a hole. My sense of failure keeps me going back and forth between shame and blame. I have trouble breaking free and letting go of my negative self-image. But mistakes are only meant for me to learn from. If I have hurt someone, I need to make amends and let go. If I have made an error, I need to correct it, at least in myself, and move on. If I can't correct it, I can learn from it, enrich my spirit and release it.I am allowed to make mistakes. For the wonderful things about saints is that they were human. They lost their tempers, got angry, scolded God, were egotistical, testy or impatient in their turns, made mistakes and regretted them. Still they went doggedly blundering on toward heaven.
