Finding Joy in the Midst of Your Mistakes

![IMG_20170913_110317.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXfy13HVbSZgo5eSXy1k1Bc5ferCYEf6FNBzqRbES3VqS/IMG_20170913_110317.jpg)

I have made a lotta sh*tty stupid mistakes
I look back and it hurts
Sometimes I try to think of the consequences
I am not even sure what they might be
Not sure that when they come visiting
I will be able to handle
In my moping and regrets I keep making more mistakes
They almost becoming habits
Then I realise
Ain't nothing I can do about yesterday
Can't keep anticipating consequences either
Why not even in the midst of mistakes
Live each moment without burdens
Psychological and emotional
Embrace the past
Deal with its fruits
When happiness comes, flow with it
The depression just let it be
Take one toe after the other
There is only so much I can do
Even if its just fulfilment for the moment
Its better than constant regrets 
And the life of a walking dead
So live darling
Its not perfect yet 
You don't know it all
Live
Maybe
Just maybe, 
This time I might take my own advice

Onashile Peace (tolarnee)


***So I woke up today thinking of the million and one things I have not done right with my life. In fact that happens often but then I had to keep reminding myself that there is nothing I can do about the past.

The truth is even though people say you can do much about your future, the best you can really do is plan, nothing is certain. So why let uncertainties and regrets prevent you from enjoying the moment?

Its so messed up to have regretful past, uncertain future and a worry-filled today. I know it's easier said than done to just focus on making the best of the present without bothering about yesterday or tomorrow but you can try.

You can try like I am trying to do now, my writing right now is about making the best of the present so do same and try to find the joy in whatever you are doing and focus on it.

I hope y'all have a beautif day filled with joy and less worry....much love😘😘

Lool....Well Barrister might not be fully correct because I am just in the law school....no problem but I don't know how Steem chat works..You could show me though because I am still trying to learn a lot about the platform
