Whenever we embark on a new journey in life, many unknowns are hiding around the corner. Take a moment to think of a change you have or are currently trying to make in your life. Are you happy with the decisions you made to get to where you currently are? How have you addressed mistakes that were made along the way?

With any journey of growth, mistakes are bound to happen. Some days will be filled with wins and other days will beat you up and leave you ready to abandon your efforts altogether. Success comes to those who prevail in the wake of adversity. Valuable progress is never linear and adversity allows us to learn what we truly want from our goals. How you handle your mistakes is the secret sauce to success.

You are fed success stories from peers or people you follow that align with your current interests every day. Your social media is a highlight reel of person after person sharing the best parts of their day. Very seldom, do they show what mistakes were made along the way for their achievements to come to light. As a society, we have been conditioned to expect success to come easy, and when it isn't handed to us after a little bit of deliberate work. We think we must be broken and in many cases, we give up before we even realize the opportunities sitting under our noses. The fact of the matter is, the road of self-growth is mundane and filled with ups and downs. Keep embracing your wins and don't lose your perspective.

Keep reminding yourself that the process of growth is slow. Mistakes are bound to happen and when you constantly beat yourself up over these mistakes, you make it slower. With every mistake comes a choice and what you do next is the difference between taking a step forward or digging yourself into a deep emotional hole. Wherever you are at in your journey is where you are supposed to be. Find peace where you currently are in your journey and embrace positive change no matter the size or impact it carries. Every step in the right direction is a win and every setback is meant to strengthen your armour.
