Mistakes and Decisions

Year 6 - Day 258: Today, I am grateful for simple wisdom.

"A mistake repeated more than once is a decision." Paulo Coelho 

I really like simple wisdom. Our human nature is prone to complicate things. Keeping it simple clears the vision.

We all make mistakes. We all have learning curves. Still, a "mistake" that is intentionally repeated is a decision. 

An old friend, a recovering addict, liked to say, "If you hang out at the barber shop long enough, you're  going to get a haircut." It was a reminder that we have to do something different to get different results. He was right. 

As we walk through life, one step at a time, it is good to reflect on our decisions. We all blow it at times. We aren't perfect. Still, we put on step in front of the other and try to make the best decisions possible. I am grateful we have the Bible for a compass and the Holy Spirit to whisper encouragements. I am grateful for the intentional acts that have a positive impact on the world, 

It isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. 

Today, I am grateful for simple wisdom.
