You’re going to have to get over yourself. Recognize that you’ve made mistakes in the past and own up to them. That act will be the most freeing decision of your life. Why would you want to look back and say I’m the same person I was last year or the year before? I’ve never met a person that I look up to that says they wish they were the same person they were ten years ago. Every single one of them says they are thankful for their past selves. Their past mistakes. Their difficult times. It’s all the lens which you look through. If you can be thankful for your past self, you can own that you truly are a new self. One that stands on the lessons of the prior version of themselves and holds that person with true forgiveness. We don’t know what we don’t know and if you knew that you’d look back and be thankful for your own honesty you’d commit to owning your mistakes much quicker. Unfortunately, when we are in the shit, we can’t understand what the future will feel like. So the only lesson is committing to awareness. When you become aware, you recognize that life can be a lot more simple than you tend make it. Commit to truth. Commit to better. Commit to controlling only the things you can control. I promise you you’ll be thankful you did. #growth #mistakes #understanding
