Accept that everyone makes mistakes, take the lesson, and let yourself off the hook. Forgiving yourself for the past frees your mind to move forward.
Yes. As the quotes say, mistakes are proof that you are trying and a sign that you are learning and experimenting with new things.
Own it, look for the lesson, and then keep going. Treating mistakes as detours rather than dead ends keeps you on the path to success.
