However what I'm trying to get across, through my starts and stops and starts again is that magical knowledge (maybe it's taken off us when we're given a pencil and it's natural accompaniment - the eraser - at an early stage) that there are no mistakes.
To explain I'll draw a little from my personal experience - I've had situations that have ended and thought 'What WAS I thinking?', however, with enough distance from the event it's been so clear that that experience led me to that next stage. Just like childhood illnesses are often followed by a period of accelerated growth or learning, I've seen that my 'mistakes' haven't after all been 'failures' at all but steps to a far, far better place. I've learnt some of my best lessons and grown so much from life from these events that really I have to thank my best teachers and appreciate the journey.
As my dad would say 'It all makes up life's rich tapestry' and I'm inclined to absolutely agree.
