How do I get over a HUGE driving mistake!?
It sounds like you are a new driver, Don't worry, you are very overwhelmed right now It's OKAY. I'm a new driver too we all make mistakes, just breath and wait until you can calm down, then continue. You are aware of your mistake now and know what to do next time just don't think about it. If we were perfect at what we did we would never learn from our mistakes. (hopefully you have already pulled over and are out of the way) Close your eyes, breath in through your nose out through your mouth. when your hands stop shaking, go back to what you were doing before. That's nothing compared to my mistakes, story time! I'm a really safe driver, I took a defensive driving course to learn how to be as safe as possible I have a lot of anxiety when driving due to an accident I was in (i was the passenger). One day I was driving out of my school, in my boyfriends car and realized I didn't adjust the review mirror, so like an idiot I decided to adjust it while driving! Little did I know that I was coming up to a stoplight that I have passed for months and never had to stop at, I forgot it was even there! When I looked back to the road I had to stomp on my breaks because the light was red, and almost hit a teachers car! I missed him by less then two feet, he was screaming at me, and my boyfriend burst into laughter, and everyone within 50ft had heard my tires squealing and was starring, talk about embarrassing! I now know a lot better then to make such a reckless mistake. So relax! Making mistakes is how we learn, no one was hurt, and you now know better!
How do I get over a huge mistake I have made in the past?
This is a similar question to one I answered this Friday just gone. So I am recycling it.Once upon a time I hated making mistakes. I thought of them as setbacks and a cost that I couldn't recover. Lots of mistakes. Then I came to realise that those mistakes became lessons. Those lessons then resulted in a different outcome next time. Sometimes those mistakes led to great outcomes that never would have eventuated without first making the mistake.I'm going to give you just one example but I do have others.I was 15 (33 years ago ) and had just wasted $500 trying to win a $5 watch. I was at a fair in side show alley and at a stall was this watch that was sitting on a block of wood. All I had to do was throw three hoops over the wood to win the watch. I kept failing but kept saying to myself, “Next time” or “just one more” I lost all the money my Grandmother had given me when my parents divorced. I was going to have a problem with gambling! This event changed my life so very significantly. I woke up the next day and set a whole series of financial goals that set me on course to be financially free at a young age. I got a job, borrowed and bought a block of land at 17. Paid it off by 21. Built a house on it, then paid that off by 28. And I have kept going making more and more money. I used to feel sick in my stomach about wasting all that money when I was a kid but now I am grateful it happened when I was so young and all I lost was $500. I don't ever gamble. I know I can't trust myself. I don't even buy raffle tickets at my kids school!The other upside is I have attained financial freedom. All because I learnt from a mistake.I no longer view mistakes as mistakes. They are experiences, opportunities to grow and learn. They are extremely powerful life changes if you left them be. Embrace them and use them to make you better.
I made a huge mistake and think i've lost her forever?
My girlfriend of a little over two years broke up with me. I made little mistakes throughout our relationship which cause her to slowly fall out of love with me. When she ended it was i devastated and i still am. She tells me she still loves me and always will but is no longer in love with me. She is my best friend and i am hers. I want her back so bad but she told me i should move on. I have spent the last couple of months trying to prove to her that i have changed and i'm a better person and things were going well, until this past weekend. I got very drunk at a party and made out with three of her friends. I wish it would have never happened and when i woke up the next day i regret it immediately. I really hurt her feelings and i hate myself for it. That's not the kind of person i am which makes me even more upset with myself. I think i have ruined any chances i have with getting back with her. Is there anything i can do to show her how sorry i am? Will she ever take me back after something like this??
Would joining the military be a huge mistake?
For some, joining the military is a mistake, and for others, it is the best thing they have ever done. For me, the latter. Because of the Navy, I was able to graduated with honor with 2 Bachelor's Degrees. And due to my GPA & Military Service (I had to write an essay), I earned a full scholarship for my MBA, which I am utilizing at the moment. Also, because of my experience in the Navy & my degrees, I was hired to work at my current job as well. And I can foresee that once I have completed my MBA (and pass my CPA & CFA licenses later on), my life would be in even better position. The military provides people who have served and got out under honorable condition with the tools (G.I.Bill & experience to put on a resume), but whether those people decide to use those tools to gain advantage in life or not, that is not military's fault. BTW, about 40% of people who are eligible for the G.I. Bill never used it. You cannot replace a college degree with just military service. EDIT: Also, for many of the young enlisted men; instead of trying to save some money while they were in, so they can have some saving to start a new life; they blew it on a new car, booze, and strippers (and video games).
Sometimes, after realizing you made a huge mistake in your life, to do you feel as though?
I know that feeling. It's surreal and outer body. Maybe it's the brain and how it deals with trauma.
What should we do after realizing our mistake? The mistake which I have done I can't admit also.
You’ve already done what you need to do. Accepting that you committed a mistake is the most you could do. You could try the below, but trust me they won’t work:Apologies: It works for petty mistakes. But try it if you’ve slept with your best friends girlfriend.Covering up: It might work to convince people who don’t know you at a much deeper level. Try looking at your parent’s eyes while lying. They will know that you’ve changed.Ignoring: That would just make you another ass out there.Mistakes are sometimes the best thing that could have ever happened to you. We do it all times. Not even a day in our life passes without them. You could have avoided this mistake. Done something sensible to be on the right side of the line. Be glad that you did. Mistakes are opportunities. You could always be that ideal son or an ideal friend or an ideal whatever you wanted to be. But post this mistake, if at all you accept it and have your plans to overcome the regret, you will be a better person.Trust me, acceptance is a rare quality. Not every son of a gun can accept that he made a mistake. This is in spite of the fact that we do it(big or small) all the time.
I cheated on my husband. I made a huge mistake. What should I do now?
cheaters get no sugar coating from me. why is it always a "huge mistake" afterwards but the greatest idea in the world beforehand... "I hid the fact that I am married, we got along really well and I ended up having sex with him.....I could not resist it at that time"...what, was ur mouth wired shut that u couldn't say NO and walk away... by hiding the fact that u r married shows me how much u take ur wedding vows for granted and have little care for ur children. if u were my wife i'd be calling a divorce atty today... as i did with the two wives that cheated on me. is it so hard to keep ur hands off other guys when ur husband isn't around. "I have been married for 3 years now and I am 26."...26 going on high school 16. "Last week I was away for work and I met a really hot guy."...ya, not like anyone at work doesn't know ur married (today, that is) and won't talk about this to others...man i wish i was a fly on the wall at the next gossip session...better known as a company party!!! hey, it was so easy the first time to lie, conieve and cheat, should be easier now for you to keep it from ur husband and do it again. "I know what i did and I am repenting"... how...by asking people u don't know what to do instead of standing on ur own two feet, facing your husband and telling him the truth...do u even know the meaning of the word "repent"? "oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve". hey report me, i doubt if anyone reading what u did will find fault with my answer...the truth hurts, but what u did 2 ur husband and ur family cuts deeper than any knife, or ur report of my answer.
