We are not our behaviors and we are more than our mistakes. we can remember that our history does not have to predict our future. and then remember that we have an opportunity to go all in to participate fully. when faced with a big mistake, begin to pull back- to retreat. instead, we use the failure as evidence that we are growing, risking, and stretching to meet our potential. mistakes help us to remember that we are not content  to play it safe. that we understand that without risk there is sometimes no reward.
