There comes a time in all of our lives that we find ourselves looking from the outside in. Looking back and reflecting on our actions, our current mindset, and the path forwards. Sometimes we look back and cringe, in shame, or we look back and we’re proud of some of the things we’ve accomplished so far. It’s really about the former. Looking back and realizing that we’ve made mistakes is human. It is what encourages us to move forwards and be the version of ourselves that we wish we could be. The version that we want to be. The trick is being able to hold your head up high when these feelings come up, and be able to push forwards from them. If we all dwelled in a permanent state of regret, nothing would ever be accomplished. To err is human. So keep your head up, and keep moving forwards.
