Better Judgement

We learn from our mistakes. But can we learn something different from making the same mistake over and over?


If we go against all our better judgement and subject to the fate of repeating painful mistakes, is there anything to learn? I am guilty of repeat offence. But i am still unclear whether i learnt anything. Maybe my lesson is to never make the same mistake twice? Then again, is making the same mistakes really just further enforcing it in your mind, allowing you to stop second guessing the lessons you've learnt? if you make the same mistake, but the outcome is different, is it still a mistake?


Judgement is something we develop over time. judgement pairs with our basic instincts and allows us to make decisions which have the best outcome. The hard part is learning to trust your judgement. Most often my first judgement is correct, but i question myself and get stuck in a loop of wondering. Can we condition ourselves to trust our better judgement?

What if our better judgement was a little being on our shoulder, would it kick our asses every time we ignored it? would it constantly be telling us we're wrong, when really we made the decisions we had to make, for us at that point in time?


If judgement is based on the past, are we not claiming psychic abilities by going with it? We'll never be sure, unless we take a chance. But we cannot constantly be taking chances and falling flat on our faces. It makes us look like fools and it breaks our pretty faces. So finding a balance is the key. 


Better Judgement is something you just trust 90% of the time, but sometimes, for that other 10% maybe it's time we took a chance. A chance on "love", friends, family, opportunity, just take a chance on life.
