To err is human, but when the eraser wears out the head of the pencil, you're overdoing it. ~ Josh Jenkins

We need to be able to forgive ourselves when we stumble or forget, and based on that forgiveness, be able to reconnect to our basic intention. One of the primary tools we have in spiritual life is the understanding that everything is changing all of the time, that nothing is fixed, and nothing is permanent. Because of that truth, when we make a mistake we realize that we can begin again. ~ Sharon Salzberg (from "The Force of Kindness")

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~ Scott Adams, creator of Dibert

Practice doesn't make perfect, nor is it supposed to. Practice is about increasing your repertoire of ways to recover from your mistakes. ~ Joann C. Gutin

His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Good Karma Instructions for Life
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risks.
When you loose, don't loose the lesson.
Follow the three R's:
respect for self
respect for others
responsibility for all your actions
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend some time alone every day.
Open arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Share your knowledge. Its a way to achieve immortality.
Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go somewhere you've never been.
Remember that the best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Judge your successes by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Class never runs scared. It is sure footed and confident and it can handle whatever comes along.
Class has a sense of humour. It knows a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations.
Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes.
Class knows good manners are nothing more than a series of petty sacrifices.
Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. A blue blood can be totally without class while the son o f a Welsh miner may ooze class from every pore.
Class can "walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch."
Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself.
~Ann Landers

I Am Me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically me because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me; my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me and I am OK.

There's no such thing as a mistake. There's what you do. And what you don't do. ~ Unknown

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul; it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above. ~ Gia Carangi
