Sometimes when folks perseverate on what they've done wrong, I am reminded of the saying, "If you learned something from the experience, it wasn't a mistake." Thanks for making me think! G.

I love what you say that you "were all devastated until we found out that he had volunteered the incriminating information on his own." Notice how that shifted your perspective. How proud you must be of your son. This is an opportunity for growth and closeness and learning or for separation. This is an experience your son (and you) have. How can it make you stronger as individuals and as a family? How can this bring you together and open up communication? If you were to stand completely in your faith, what are the possibilities as a result of this experience? See, if we are to look at this from a Divine perspective, we can be assured that there is something for everybody here. One way to handle this is to talk at your son. Another is to listen to your son. Maybe there are a hundred ways to handle this. Can you make a list of them all? Then choose one together that empowers you as a family and models the type of relationship you want with each other. Are you celebrating your sons integrity? Are you focusing on what is right about this event or on what is wrong with it? Your choice, right? Thanks for sharing! How can I support you? Stephy,

We were all devastated until we found out that he had volunteered the incriminating information on his own. We've now stopped focusing on "what everyone else thinks" and now thank God our son has intergrity in a tough situation.

I wouldn't change any of the events that happened in my life, but I do admit that I have felt there were some I could do without. Debbie Ford talks about a recipe for life in her book, "The Secret of the Shadow" and I have been able to find the gifts in most everthing that happened to me.

I didn't like being told that I was responsible for the childhood abuse that happened to me. That made me really angry for awhile and still some part of me was open to the idea of being responsible for what happened in my life. It probably took me about a year to start to see what was being taught to me. I finally came to accept that my Higher Self set all of those events into being to teach me the lessons that I agreed to learn in this lifetime. I have also come to believe that all of the things that happen to me are a result of karma from past events that I have participated in. Some of that karma is wonderful and brings joy and excitement and some of it comes with challenges. Both kinds of karma are blessings because of what I learn from them. Sometimes I forget this and just want to blame someone else for what is causing me to hurt. I am human and sometimes the ego wants me to forget that I am really in charge of my life, not that other person is making me unhappy. No one else can make me unhappy unless I allow them to.

Despite of the unfavorable result, we are actually able to take a better perspective on mistakes. Here is what CK Reyes from Divine Purpose Unleashed shared about mistakes… Ordinarily, I would say that there are no mistakes. And, to be totally honest this is true! Everything teaches you something, if you let it. Every choice is a walk on the path of your life that will lead you somewhere.

I was stuck in the same rut for years, blaming other people for my circumstances. It wasn't until I started to take responsibility for creating a new life for myself that things actually started to change and I feel so much better about myself now. One resource that's really helped me is <a href="http://www.womansfieldguide.com/learn-more-about-the-book/" rel="nofollow">The Woman's Field Guide To Exceptional Living</a> by Corrie Woods. It showed up in my life right when I needed it, and it provided me with a powerful invitation to take responsibility for creating my own meaningful and exceptional life. I'm still searching for my life purpose, but it feels like it's coming closer and closer now that I accept that only I am responsible for me. :) Taking responsibility feels really great when you finally do it, but while you’re in the middle of a less-than-perfect situation, it’s oh so much easier to blame everyone else.
