As this week seems to be full of challenges, ones that I just can’t get my head around, ones that make me feel like I’m failing, ones that are making me dealt myself and my abilities, I really need to remind myself of this.

Your mistakes and failures should be your motivation, not your excuse. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping-stones.
Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal.
The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake.
Failure is not falling down…failure is staying down when you have the choice to get back up.
Life didn’t come with instructions. Accept that mistakes will happen.
You are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here now with the power to shape your day and your tomorrow.
