“Which among us cannot say that some of our greatest learnings have come from mistakes we’ve made? A mistake can teach us something we never forget; it spotlights an area for growth. Can you let yourself experience the perfection of your imperfection? Nurturing yourself by accepting you will fail at times doesn’t mean you don’t try to avoid failures. But when they come you refuse self-judgement. You let past mistakes be just that—past. Your attitude is that yesterday ended last night. You recognize that there is a statute of limitations on past errors and refuse to wallow in self-punishment year after year.”
