As you go through life, you will make many small mistakes and you will make some very, very big ones.
Don’t let the big ones define you.
Let them teach you.
Let them change you.
Let them humble you.
Let them anger you.
But don’t let them define you.
If every person on earth had to introduce themselves, but declaring their biggest personal failure, we wouldn’t trust anyone.
One day, you will make a huge mistake. It will happen. It happens to everyone. I ask that you treat yourself with the same sense of compassion that you provide others. Be upset with yourself, fix it, forgive yourself and move on.
And believe with all of your heart that you are so more than your greatest failure.
