This mistake, this failure, this rejection, this shortcoming, this loss does not define you.
This win, this success, this achievement, this accomplishment, this victory does not define you.
This moment, this decision, this instance, this event does not define you.
You are singularily a lifetime culmination of your experiences, decisions, thought, actions of learning, discovery, exploration, creativity, connection. Every instance but all as one. You are even the future decisions and actions, you haven’t even done yet.
You are learning, growing, evolving. Take it as praise but also as encouragement. Every journey has a path, and we’re just at a relative position on that path.
