Mistakes

|Mistakes|
Mistakes are always forgivable if one has the courage to admit them.
|Bruce Lee|

We all make mistakes—it’s just part of life. Frequently, we’ll do all we can to avoid the mistake – or at least the consequences associated with the mistake.  When we don’t own the mistake, learn from it, and seek forgiveness, we can hold on to the baggage that comes from shame, guilt, or regret that is so often associated with our mistakes. What truly matters is having the courage to admit when we’re wrong. It’s not always easy, but owning up to our errors shows strength and character. When we acknowledge our mistakes, we open the door to growth and understanding. We create the opportunity to be freed from shame, guilt, and regret. So, don’t be afraid to say, “I messed up.” No excuses. No justifications. Just own it and, if you’re able, make it right. Remember, forgiveness starts with honesty, and with every mistake, there’s an opportunity to learn and improve. Keep pushing forward, and remember, courage and accountability lead to a brighter future and a better you.

Be Encouraged.
