🟢: It's not how we make mistakes, but how we correct them that defines us.

💚 Sometimes we lose our way.

✓ We all make mistakes.
✓ We focus on the wrong things.
✓ We pursue goals at all costs.
✓ We teeter on ethical and moral cliffs.
✓ We get too far down a slippery slope.
✓ We steal.
✓ We cheat.
✓ We lie.
✓ We deceive others.
✓ We deceive ourselves.
✓ We don’t open ourselves up to our friends.

You can be a good person and still exercise poor judgment.

💚 Just because you failed doesn’t mean you can’t succeed.

✓ We all fail.
✓ Mentally resilient people realize that its not failure that defines your identity but how you respond.

🟢: Mistakes are bad, no doubt, but not learning from them is worse.

✓ The key to learning from mistakes is to admit them without excuses or defensiveness, rub your nose in them a little, and make the changes you need to make to grow going forward.

✓ If you can’t admit your mistakes, you won’t grow.
