There is no mortal human being that hasn’t messed up in one way or the other in their life’s journey. We’ve all been there, making silly mistakes and blowing up golden opportunities. We’ve been there when we knew the right things to do but followed the path that led nowhere other than regrets.

What most people do after messing up is clinging to the mess, crying day and night and wallowing in regrets. Some have even come to a point where they “enjoy” being pitied by others for the mess they’ve brought upon themselves. Funny as it may sound, that’s an unwise thing to do! If you want to succeed in life, you’ve got to do one thing: PUT THE MESS BEHIND YOU AND MOVE ON!

Let me ask you a question

What do you do with the garbage bin and mess in your home? Do you leave them there and expect people’s pity? Of course, no one is so dumb to do such a thing. You don’t want to turn your house over to ants, cockroaches, bugs and rats; that is why you always take prompt action to trash your waste bin. Just like most people, you can cope with many things but not like a dirty, smelly and stinking mess in the trash can!

Here is my point

It’s sad to know that so many people go about with their “mess” (mistakes, failures, regrets) and in a manner of speaking, instead of swinging free in their life’s journey, they are rather being weighed down unnecessarily by the garbage of mess they’ve tied around their neck. They hang on to their errors, mistakes, offences, failures, disappointments, backward mentalities, hardship, bitterness and all the ‘negatives’ you can ever think of. This set of people are habitually frustrated and they are aggravated by just anything. Little do they know that the mess they carry about has infected them so much that they’ve begun to stink. 

Don’t Get Weighed Down By Life’s Mess!

I have seen many young ladies become a shadow of themselves, just because they had a failed dating relationship. I once read of a young lady who contemplated suicide many times because her husband-to-be jilted her just a few days to their wedding. Because of that, she refused to talk to people and was always locking herself up in the house. She found it hard to let go of the mess, and it almost cost her her life. 

I have also heard of many people who lost their sanity just because they were jilted by their so-called lover. Some other people entered into a business which they thought would bring them a fortune, but they ended up losing all their investments. This made them to go about with constant regret and refusing to let go of the mess and moving forward.

Put Your Mess Where It Belongs!

Why not put the mess behind you once and for all? It’s high time you stopped brooding over how you were cheated, used, disrespected and offended. Stop brooding over how much you’ve lost or how woefully you’ve failed.

Stop thinking about how much of your precious time you’ve wasted and how the good things you planned never materialized. With each day comes a new dawn; make good use of it and you’ll see yourself flourish and forge ahead in life.
