Learn From It, Don’t Live in It 💭

So,

I just have a quick thought 💭.

And honestly,

it’s not even

an original thought

of mine

—I believe—

I once heard

the legendary Jennifer Lewis 👑

speak on it.

But it stuck with me,

and

I gotta share.

It’s about mistakes.

Those moments in life

we label

as failures.

All I’m sayin’ is…🫦

learn from your mistakes,

don’t live in them.

Now,

don’t get me wrong

—I’m not saying—

we get to excuse bad behavior

or

brush off intentional wrongdoing

with some nonchalant shrug.

Nah.

What I am saying is this:

grieve if you need to,

cry,

get mad,

whine,

stomp your feet

—whatever’s healthy for you—

in the moment.

Shit happens, riiight?

But don’t live there.

Don’t pitch a tent

and

build a house

in your mistakes.

At the end of the day,

—remember—

you’re dust.

That’s where you're from and that's where you’re headed.

You’re just a baby in God’s eyes.

So, humble yourself.

Ask Him for forgiveness.

Try not to keep repeating the same thing

over and over again,

because if you do…

let’s be real

—that’s no longer an error—

that’s a lifestyle choice.

And through it all,

don’t give up on you.

This life,

—this journey—

it’s between you and God.

Be at peace. 🕊️
