This may come as a shock to you (wink), but we are all human and humans make mistakes, lie, cheat, make very bad decisions and we all make great decisions that turn out not so great. There are mistakes that will haunt us the rest of our life if we let them, or we can learn from them, respect them, and do what we can to resolve the mistake and move on.

Most professions do not always resemble their profession deep down inside, I mean we are human. Bakers sometimes don’t bake up to par, Chefs can not cook your steak perfectly, cashiers can ring up something twice, athletics don’t always win, house cleaners miss spots, Not all bartenders make the perfect drink because everyone’s taste buds are different. You get the point right…we are human.

Sometimes parents sway their child to follow the parent’s desire for what they want them to grow up and be. There are times when we think we would love to do something in life and after trying it, we get a clearer vision of what it is we want to do or not want to do. Sometimes we try numerous professions until we find the one we truly love….why? Because we are human.

Most people believe that doctors have all the answers when someone is sick and the patient becomes irritated when the doctor doesn’t diagnose the patient correctly right away. Our bodies and the diseases we can obtain can be big mysteries that take time to solve. Doctors are human and do not have all the answers all the time.

Counselors do not have all the answers either. Our minds think differently, as I have said in prior blogs. Counselors can ask questions to help one think about different avenues he/she/they can take in life, but counselors cannot tell you what to do to make life perfect. Counselors are empathetic, and help others empower themselves, believe in themselves and become the individual they desire to become.

Being human is making mistakes and learning from them or having patience with the mistakes.

Not all relationships will last forever. People change, that’s a fact. People change because of the environment we live in, for instance…I know I am a much happier person living in the sunshine and winter puts me in a not so happy place, which affects my personality and my relationships. People change in relationships, it just happens, children cause change, work stress, growing apart and wanting different paths in life. Our emotions can be very unstable in relationships, meaning talking about your feelings is essential in a relationship, but we are all human and sometimes we hide our feelings causing a larger gap in a relationship.

We are human, we make mistakes and the mistakes we make need to be recognized, figure out how the mistake happened and make the necessary actions to resolve the mistake and learn from it.

We learn by living life fully, learning what works for us and what doesn’t work for us. The most important part of living fully is not to judge others for living their life fully. Live happily.
