With all of our getting of understanding and learning, how many of us are in control of what we do and how many of us feel no matter how hard we try, we can't "seem" to do those thing we know to be right? Everyone has weaknesses... this is normal, so don't feel down about it. Sure, you should feel bad, because these kind of feelings are there to help you correct the mistakes you make. It is normal to mess up, to trip, to fall down, get tired, etc. When we do, we feel bad and have the tendency to get mad at ourselves. Well, even this could be our weakness... getting mad at ourselves and living in regret, but you don't have to feel this way. Remember, ALL of us make mistakes and have the "temptation" to feel like failures, but the only time you can really fail is to die not trying. Life is all about progressing not winning the race, getting up each time we fall. Again, opposition in all things helps us grow. Sometimes we are given burdens to bear and it is up to us to look at the burden as a blessing to help us grow or wine about it.
We may not always understand the "why". To me, not understanding the why may be part of the burden itself. Again, just another opportunity to grow. I can't help but want to say, there is more to life than just living and dying. We can all know for ourselves whether this is true or not by how our actions make us feel. Do you feel like you are growing as you "repent" of a mistake, trying again with renewed hope, feeling bad for past mistakes, trying to make better what we did wrong to the best of our ability? If you are not sure what I mean, give it a try. Attempt to "repent" and make better what you did wrong and see how it makes you feel. How does it make you feel when you accomplish something hard that you set out to do? Have you ever set out to accomplish something? We can all be achievers in life, accomplishing things makes us feel more complete, messing up on something humbles us and should tell us what we need to work on, overcome, and/or improve. We are all people, the CEO you work for isn't really much different then you. We can all accomplish great things.
With this said, let us be wise with what we learn each and every day. Take what you learn and put put into practice what we feel makes us and those around us happy.
