How I continue to make mistakes

I guess this is just an entry to talk about some of the things that I have been dealing with. I have found myself in a tough place right now and I guess that it isn't really easy to discuss this. But here we go.
So lately I have felt like all I have been doing is making a lot of mistakes and it is hard for me to see the difference that I am making in people's lives. I feel that after so many years of great friendships and really close people I have both lost and pushed away really close friendships.
I have found that we learn the most from our mistakes. I have made a lot of them but more importantly I have prevented myself from even more of them by learning from my previous decisions. I guess in all of this I just have found that the most important the to learn is that we all make mistakes and the truly amazing people are the one's who learn from their mistakes and are able to move on from their previous ones.
For me the ultimate example of someone who can move beyond people's mistakes is Jesus Christ I have had to realize that we all make mistakes and that the only truly perfect person is Jesus Christ and he is the only one who can truly not forgive people yet he is the most forgiving person on the earth because he loves us more than we can ever fathom.
So for me this mean that I need to try harder every day to forgive people and that includes myself. I guess that for me life has so much more meaning when I can get beyond myself.
