On wisdom’s path we take the risk of making mistakes. On this path we take the risk of being wrong. That’s how wisdom is gained. -- Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," December 31, 2025
My life's turnaround came when unconsciously I gave me permission to admit. without pride or guilt, whenever, not if ever, I was wrong.
That was not an original thought, of course. It came from hard-earned life experience...specifically when I realized when wrong, promptly admit it was direct advice to me...God's will, God's way in fact.
I am halfway convinced that making mistakes is God's perfect will for us...clearly, making mistakes is not our self-determined objective.
Our making mistakes could be God's teaching skill...face it, He knows us well!
It has ever been true that I must try with a will, fail, turn to God, flounder, seek God, fail...admit complete defeat, accept God's will, God's way...live happily that day.
That is my life today...and in my (relative) freedom from fear of making a mistake, I live happy, joyous and free.
Thank you.
