Little mistakes we make

Sometimes the tiniest mistakes are the ones that shatter our worlds ... or perhaps the world of someone else.


Mistake - you don't click that tiny red circle on your screen to leave a site you have to clear in your history later.


Mistake - you wait a little longer to study for a test that's very important and your eyes swell up when you look at the computer screen seeing you got a 42%.


Mistake - you eat that little piece of cake and ice cream daily, stepping on the scale you see your number has risen.


Mistake - you tell a small lie that you already have plans that night then have to tell a small lie again when you run into them at the restaurant.


Mistake - just a tiny smoke and now you have cancer.


Mistake - you kissed that person a little bit too intensely for a little too long.


Mistake - you use those small profane words and now they occupy your mind and come out naturally.


Mistake - you didn't have a small minute to read your scriptures yesterday as you feel empty and realize yesterday amounts to a few months.


Mistake - you waited a little too long to tell that person you care about how you wanted to be with them and your heart aches as you hear them talk about their new significant other.


Mistake - just a small shot of booze as you pass out.


Mistake - speeding just a little ... now you're in black with people mourning.


Mistake - cheating on just one question, one interview, one procedure, one life.


Mistake - you only skipped a small dinner everyday after skipping lunch and breakfast, now you're too frail to move.


Mistake - missing your child's one game, but they're at college and you've still never seen them play.


Don't let the small mistakes amount to huge regrets.
