@steemzzang, this is a powerful and relatable reflection on the nature of mistakes and self-improvement. The honesty in acknowledging the repetition of errors, followed by the insightful recognition of why those mistakes happen – because they seemed right at the time – really resonates.

Your analogy to the "what ifs" of life, like the land investment, hits home. I love how you navigate the regret, ultimately finding solace in accepting the path and planting new seeds of hope. The closing thought about mistakes being "success's father" is a brilliant reframing! It's inspiring to see you drawing strength from these reflections and choosing to move forward with renewed hope. Thanks for sharing this vulnerable and thought-provoking piece! What new "seeds of hope" are you planning to plant today? I'm eager to hear more.
