No one likes to screw up.
We all want to make the right decision, one hundred percent of the time.

Weve all done things we arent proud of.
Maxime Gauthier
Made decisions that weve immediately wished we could take back.
Uttered words out loud that have instantly twisted our gut with a pang of discomfort and regret.
Weve all done things without thinking, or while only thinking of ourselves and no one else.

Bottom line, weve all made mistakes.
Sometimes we even repeat them.
Sometimes not just once, but over and over again.
And when that happens, its not difficult to start beating yourself up.
What we need to really be doing is examining those instances, and ultimately learning from them.
We cant simply look at ourselves in anger.
But I dont need to tell you that this isnt the way the world actually works.
No one gets everything right the first time.
Theres never been a person whos lived on this earth who has gotten everything completely correct.
Lets analyze the situation and figure out where we went wrong.
Lets right our wrongs and apologize to those we didnt do well by.
Lets mourn for those chances we missed and the roads we didnt take.
But after were done with that, lets put it all aside and move on.
We cant let them define who we are as people, as individuals.
Because were all only human.
And while were at it, lets forgive ourselves.
Let those feelings of shame go.
Let them leave your body in one big exhale.
Dont let the mistakes stick to your insides, dont let the regret rot you.
Let go and start fresh.
Remember that youll most definitely make new mistakes.
Because youll never truly be done with getting it wrong; no one will.
Prepare yourself for those blips in your atmosphere.
Learn and let go.
Make right and then move on.
Forgive and take a step forward.Because you are so much more than your mistakes.
