Don’t ever let anyone else doubt your worth.

The real truth is that your mistakes don’t define you. It’s how you handle them. Know yourself, and know who you are.

If someone believes a moment in time is that tied to your identity and character, that mistake is theirs. Don’t rely on someone else to forgive you - forgive yourself.

But more than that - know you’re worth it. If someone can’t see that, if they aren’t willing to invest or take a chance, then that has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. No one should ever have to convince someone else of their value.

Don’t let them take your power away like that. Take it back from them.

You owe them nothing.
