For as hard as I try, I simply have not been able to eradicate mistakes from my life. I look back on yesterday and wonder how I could have said some of the things I said and done some of the thing I have done. I imagine you are like me, making mistakes again and again. I encourage you to forgive yourself, just as you should forgive others of the mistakes they make. Not that we should enable bad behavior—simply that we recognize that no one is perfect. Forgive yourself and others, again and again.
