Everyone makes mistakes in their life. The way we handle and learn from them is how we as humans will grow. The hope that you are able to change your attitude, learn from your mistakes, deal with your consequences and take responsibility of your actions, is what will show others what you are really made of. So you messed up, but no ones perfect. Perfect is unrealistic. I once read: “The important thing is that when you mess up you accept responsibility”. Instead of trying to hide what you did, own up to it because there is really nothing you can do about it. Time machines do not exist and there is no undo button in the real world. Your mistake has already been done. How you choose to handle it, is what makes you grow as a human. The best way to fix your mistakes is by reflecting on what you did and then moving on. Those who will forgive what you have done and see the best in you, are the ones you need to be thankful for. They pointed out the mistake in the first place because they want to see you grow as an individual and be the best version of yourself. So do not be angry at them, try and see their perspective and to understand what they are saying. I believe that when you make a mistake, you just need to remember these two important steps: 1. Acceptance: Although no one intentionally means to make a mistake, the first step to moving on would be to recognize what you have done. If you are in denial then you will not be able to put it behind you. 2. Action: Making a mistake is not fun for anyone, but when you learn from them and take responsibility for them, then you are growing as a human being. You cannot change who you are, but you can change what you do. As Tony Robbins once said “By changing nothing, nothing changes”. If you do not take action to fix what you have done, you will not see any form of change. So prove to others and yourself, how you handle your mistakes.

yes! you are so right about 'second chances' !! owning up to what we did is NOT a sign of weakness and society often has us think; i think rather it's AMAZINGLY BRAVE as few ppl can stand proudly and admit they were wrong and even better, become better people because of something they did; a mistake is often something mis-taken as an error but it is rather a huge learning opportunity; and if we take it as that instead of beating ourselves up bc of it then we are all the better; I believe life doesn't give us anything we can't handle and when we are faced with a 'lesson' and can prove we can move beyond it and LEARN then we are doing exactly what that opportunity/lesson is meant to do, help us become better humans! keep up that great attitude and happy learning!! after all that is what life is about, learning and if we don't make mistakes then we aren't really human right! and the more we learn the better we can become so learn on fellow human, learn on :)
