Mistakes aren't real

Mistakes aren't real. We have no idea how things will work out or “should” work out. We label something a mistake based on our imagined and preferred version of how life was supposed to go, yet our predicting mind is not the ultimate authority of the universe.

Our belief in mistakes gives us a false sense of control. If we can make the right decisions, we think we'll be safe and whole. This belief keeps us small and afraid, constantly second-guessing instead of living fully right now, which is all there is.

What if our only mistake is believing in mistakes? What if every choice is simply another step in an unfolding we cannot see?
