Motivational Thought - Undo/Redo
I looked at the document I was working on and realized that I had inadvertently corrected something that in fact, didn't need to be corrected. It was an innocent mistake, but thanks to the undo/redo feature in Microsoft Word, the matter was quickly rectified with the click of a button. I could go back and correct the error I had made without suffering any consequences. All I had to do was to select the undo option. And, if at any point I had a change of heart, I could simply select redo, and revert to the original text. How convenient!
As simple and easy as it may be, what works for Microsoft Word, cannot work in real life. The mistakes that we make, innocent or not, cannot be erased at the click of a button. It behooves us then to be careful of the choices that we make - the things we do, the words that come out of our mouths, the way we treat others, how we use our time, and the people that we invite into our lives.
Let us be mindful that we can never go back in time, so it is critical to ensure that we look before we leap so that we make better choices. We cannot undo the past, but we can learn from it. The mistakes that we make should serve as stepping stones and opportunities for growth and development as we strive to learn the lessons from them and not allow history to repeat itself.
In life, there is no undo button, but thankfully, there is one that allows for a redo. If at first, you don't succeed, you can try again. You can make amends. You can redo it and make it better. And there is no limit. The just man falls and rises seven times. So don't give up. Keep trying. There is always hope.
Be blessed.
