Your Mistakes Were the Price of Your Wisdom

<p><strong>Every time you shame your past self, you&#39;re essentially punishing the very version of you that was doing the work to get you here. The struggling, imperfect, figuring-it-out version of you. Without them? You don&#39;t get this version. Without the fall, there&#39;s no getting back up. Without the wrong turn, you don&#39;t know which direction leads home.</strong></p>
