Have Your Say

Let's talk about something we all experience, something that can feel like a big ol' weight on our shoulders: mistakes. We all make them, right?  It's part of being human. But sometimes, those mistakes feel HUGE. Like, "I'm a total mess" huge.

I get it. I've been there. There have been times when I've messed up big time, and it felt like the whole world was judging me. But here's the thing: those mistakes don't define me.  They don't define you either.

Think about it this way: mistakes are like stepping stones. They might not be the prettiest or most comfortable stones, but they help us get to where we need to go.  We learn from them, grow from them, and become stronger.

So, what do we do when we make a mistake?

• Acknowledge it. Don't try to pretend it didn't happen.  Take responsibility for your actions and learn from them.
• Forgive yourself.  We all make mistakes.  It's okay to mess up.  Be kind to yourself.
• Move on.  Dwelling on the past won't help.  Focus on the present and the future.

Remember, mistakes are a part of life.  They're opportunities to learn and grow.  Don't let them define you.  You are so much more than your mistakes.
