Mistakes

Can a mistake be made more than once and each time the results different? Do we actually learn from our mistakes or just take the results and ramifications and arrange them to our liking? Do mistakes happen because we didn't plan well enough, because we weren't careful enough or maybe because we forgot the result from the previous time the same mistake was made? If you do learn from a mistake, how do you ensure never to make it again? Are mistakes just a way God is trying to test us or alert us to new beginnings that may lie ahead? Maybe, God is just trying to wake us up. Make good choices and changes from the mistakes that inhabit your life.
