God allows U-turns

"Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" Allison Gappa Bottke


I like this quote because it is a good description of letting mistakes just pass. We're often too harsh on ourselves (and others) and guilt is our co-rider on our journey. We need to replace guilt with experience, by that I mean that we need to look at our mistakes and learn from them and see it as a fortune. And not to take it so freaking seriously as if it were a question of life or death. 
U-turns are great and they're so hard to manage if you're fixed - you just got to win the whole "competition". Competition? Arguing is not about that really. It's through arguing that you can find your standpoint and insights. BUT remember that standpoints are never permanent - nothing is. So why defend yourself? Why do you have to be so certain about your opinion? That is not developing. That is not consciousness. Yet, it's so hard sometimes. 
Love to U-turns. U-turns are magnificent. 


Another quote that says something about fixedness: 
"The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open" Unknown
