To be human is to make mistakes on our path to greater growth.

We must keep ourselves accountable to the goals and vision we set for ourselves. Otherwise why set such goals and dreams in the first place. We reach for a greater good because we care…

That doesn’t mean we can’t or won’t make mistakes or have setbacks along the way. That is where grace comes in. We are kind to ourselves not to excuse the wrong we do, but because we are human. Sure, some mistakes are greater than others, but condemnation generally doesn’t inspire change. Especially when the one doing the criticizing and judging is your own self.

To be human is to make mistakes on the path to greater growth. Along that journey, why not be kind and encouraging to the person whose opinion matters most, your own.
