## Caption

I’ve fucked up a lot. Like… a lot. 

Feels like my life has basically been a series of mistakes that somehow worked out.
And no not because I planned it well, but because I kept pushing through anyway.

I’ve messed things up. Changed direction. Started over more times than I can count. And for a long time (even now) I thought that meant I was behind or doing something wrong.

Now I try and see it differently.
Nothing I did disqualified me…it just taught me what not to do next, mistakes are lessons & changes in direction.

If you’re stuck replaying old mistakes, just ask yourself:
Did this really ruin my life… or did it just reroute it?

Because most of the time, it’s not the mistake that holds you back.

It’s believing it defines who you are and what you’re capable of next.
