How many times were you
Squashed down and
Made into nothing
With all kinds of name calling
With all kinds of heart-stabbing words
With all kinds of punishment
As though you were a failure
You weren’t good enough
So on and so forth
Just because you made mistakes?
How much of your life
Were you taught to believe that
You weren’t allowed to make mistakes
You weren’t safe to make mistakes
You were wrong to make mistakes, and
Mistake means punishment?
How much of your life
Were you taught to believe that
You gotta be perfect
Without making mistakes
In order to be accepted
In order to be approved
In order to be loved?
How many times were you taught,
Spoken and unspoken,
They punished you because
They cared for and loved you?
How much of your life
Have you spent getting confused
Not knowing what was what
Due to all those teachings?
You are an infinite being
With your God within
As your core foundation
You are light
You are expansive
You are spacious
Anything heavy is never YOU or yours
Anything confusing is never YOU or yours
Ever
So everywhere you bought
All of their teachings, beliefs and
Definitions of mistakes
All of their lies of punishment
For perfection
All of their lies of punishment
As the necessity of love and caring
As true and yours
When they weren’t
For their approval and acceptance,
Everything that is,
Would you like to uncreate,
Destroy and return them all
To the senders please?
Would you like to know and receive that
You are allowed to make mistakes
You are safe to make mistakes
As many as you would like
Without having to get punished
Without the need to punish yourself
With your kindness to you
Because you are your own authority
To give you that permission
With God as your greatest supporter
Of all?
It is nothing about
Any mistakes you make
As we are all human
Nobody is perfect
Perfection isn’t real
We all make mistakes
At one point or another
That is part of being human
Or else none of us would need
To be here on this planet Earth
For our growth and evolution
It is about the response
To the so-called ‘mistakes’
That allows us to embody
The truth of who we are
And our true growth
Is the response kind, beneficial,
Uplifting, and guiding you
In an empowering way
For your infinite awareness
And knowing within
Back to and with YOU and God
Or is it disempowering and destructive
To tear you apart in the name of
A good intention and caring?
Does the latter feel heavy for you?
Because none of that intention is caring
None of that intention is kindness
That is manipulation
That is lie
In order to control you
To get you to do what they wanted
So everywhere you bought that lie of caring
From your authority figures or
Anybody else around you as yours,
Would you like to
Return it all to to them please?
What if mistakes are part of our life journey?
What if mistakes are inevitable?
Is it necessary to make the same mistakes
Over and over again to learn something?
No
Yet, it is never a waste of time
Because we all learn and grow differently
We all learn and grow at a different pace
That is right for each one of us
Time is irrelevant
We learn when we learn
We are ready when we are ready
So everywhere you beat yourself up
Blamed, guilted and shamed yourself
You could have done this
You should have done that,
Then none of whatever you didn’t want
Would have never happened,
Everything that is,
Would you like to uncreate
And destroy it all?
What if mistakes are there
To empower you to
Never stop finding another way
For your infinite wisdom and knowing?
What if mistakes are there
To empower you to
Choose and receive
Your kindness to you
Your willingness to do things
All over again from scratch
A trillion times if needed
With your compassion for you
With your gentleness to you?
What if mistakes are there
To empower you to
Choose and receive your infinite joy
Your joy of enjoying the ride
Including both the ups and downs,
Your joy of experiencing the process
Your joy of exploring and learning
New things during the process
Your joy of exploring your
Infinite capabilities and creativity that
You never thought of before?
Mistakes are here to grow us
Not to destroy us
Because of all those mistakes,
They have led you to
Right where you are,
Growing bigger and greater,
Reclaiming your freedom
Receiving your knowing
Awakening your soul
Remembering your God
Embodying your warrior spririt
Of strength and courage
Of power and potency
Of gentleness and tenderness
Of wisdom and truth
Being your God’s magnificent soul
Being Home with YOU and God
Beyond your wildest imagination
That is your innate ability
That is your innate capability
That is your innate extraordinariness
That is your innate being
That is your magnificent light,
Regardless of mistakes,
That you are born to be
You got this. One step at a time.
