revision

We are told that in life it is ok to make mistakes. We are told that rough drafts are ok and all we need to do is make revision to our mistakes. We are told that we need to sink before we can swim, but do we have a chance to revise our lives and our selves? Are there things in life that cannot be forgiven? If we are not shown how to do our lives correctly and it takes us a long time to figure it out but we eventually do can we truely be transformed by our growth? If we make the change and others can never see it does the growth count? Are we doomed to never amount to more than our flaws and our mistakes to those around us? Are there time limits in life? We are told that it is never too late but is this true?
I'm an optimist so I believe all of the positive answers. i believe that we can be forgiven. I believe that we can truely change. I believe that if a person is honest, even if there is a long time before that honesty comes out, they can be forgiven and they can discard their flaws. it's too bad we can't all have it figured out from the start, but if we can figure it out and make the growth, we can be bigger people.
