I am a believer in "pride comes before a fall". I made a mistake last year and in the run up had not been as nicer person as I could have been. I have tried very hard to change myself, be kinder, more tolerant, less nagging etc.
But I slip sometimes, and I hadn't been so good recently, had been negative when I didn't need to be and, low and behold - another mistake. BTW, these aren't affair-type mistakes, but I don't want to be too specific, if that's OK, as it involves my job.
So now, I am trying to fix the mistake and be a better person - almost like I can fix it through hard work and unrelated acts of kindness. Sounds so stupid when I write it down.
I can't stop the negative and unkind thoughts though, no matter how much I try and be good on the outside.
Any thoughts and comments to help me along would be much appreciated; talking to someone in RL is not an option. Thanks for reading.
