Throughout life, we make various mistakes, some of which we see as blessings, and some of which we have not yet managed to forgive. According to Oprah, every mistake happens for an important reason and is actually a more positive experience than we can imagine.
In one of the interviews, she explained what we should do in life when we make a mistake and how to turn the situation to our advantage:
"Mistakes are there to help us and define us. I definitely made some mistakes and wrong decisions, and if I had known then what I know now, I would have done many things differently.
When you don't listen to your inner voices and aren't aware of your own purpose, you can get off track; you can get into the wrong relationships or do things too quickly.
Every mistake we make is an opportunity to let's learn more and do things better.
If we look at things from this perspective, there really is no such thing as failure. We may perceive it that way at the moment, but things are always changing and putting you on the path you need to be on.
You are here for a reason.
Life is like a wave and it carries you through ups and downs, through time, but then you anchor in the storms. A mistake is a life experience that sets you on a different path. And mistakes can be more important to your destiny than success.
When mistakes happen, use them to guide you to the next correct move. Learn from them ask yourself “What can I learn from this” and then let go of the mistake.
You are always where you need to be!”
